Question

In an experiment the mass of a calorimeter is 36.35 g . Express in micrometer ,millimetre and kg.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer.

II. 36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre.

III. 36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

• Mass of calorimeter = 36.35 grams

To convert the mass in grams (g) to;

I. Micrometer

Conversion:

1 g = 1 exp 15 um

36.35 g = X um

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 exp 15 = 36.35 exp 15 um

36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer

II. Millimetre

Conversion:

1 g = 1 milliliter

36.35 g = X milliliter

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 = 36.35 milliliter

Next, we would convert milliliter to millimetre;

1 milliliter = 10 millimetre

36.35 milliliter = X millimetre

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 10 = 363.5 millimetre

36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre

III. Kilogram

Conversion:

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

36.35 g = X kilogram

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X * 1000 = 36.35 * 1

Dividing both sides by 1000, we have;

X = 36.35/1000 = 0.03635 kilogram

36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram

Note:

• g is the symbol for grams.
• Exp (E) means exponential = 10
• um is the symbol for micrometer.
