use appropriate metric prefixes to write the following measurement without use of exponents: 2.3x10^-10 L
12 = pico (p)
So 10^-12 L = 1 pL
How many 10^-12 L are there in 2.3×10^-10 L?
2.3×10^-10 / (10^-12) = 2.3×10^2 = 230 pL
-6 = micro (µ)
4.7×10^-6 g = 4.7 µg
1.85×10^-12 m = 1.85 pm
6 = Mega (M)
16.7×10^6 s = 16.7 Ms
Answer:
The metric prefix we will use write the following measurement is picoLiter.
\(2.3\times 10^{-10} Liter=230 picoLiter\)
Explanation:
Given measurement = \(2.3\times 10^{-10} L\)
1 Liter = 1000 milliLiter
\(2.3\times 10^{-10} L=2.3\times 10^{-10}\times 10^3 mL =2.3\times 10^{-7}mL\)
\(1 milliLiter = 10^9 picoLiter\)
\(2.3\times 10^{-7}mL=2.3\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9 pL=2.3\times 10^2pL=230 pL\)
\(2.3\times 10^{-10} Liter=230 picoLiter\)
