Question

The volume of a single platinum atom is 1.12×10-23 cm3. what is the volume of a platinum atom in microliters?

Answer 1

Basically, this problem asks you to convert units of volume from cm³ to μL. Cubic centimeters is the cubic volume equivalent of milliliters or mL. According to the metric system for L, microliter is 10⁻⁶ of a liter, while milliliter is 10⁻³ of a liter. Therefore, the solution is written as

(1.12×10⁻²³ cm³)*(1 mL/1 cm³)*(10⁻³ L/ 1 mL)*(1μL/10⁻⁶ L) = 1.12×10⁻²⁰ μL

Answer 2

Answer: The volume of single platinum atom in micro liters is $1.12\times 10^{-20}\mu L$

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of single platinum atom = $1.12\times 10^{-23}cm^3$

To convert this volume into micro liters, we use the conversion factor:

$1cm^3=1000\mu L$

So, $1.12\times 10^{-23}cm^3\times (\frac{1000\mu L}{1cm^3})=1.12\times 10^{-20}\mu L$

Hence, the volume of single platinum atom in micro liters is $1.12\times 10^{-20}\mu L$
