Question

Convert 1.75 g/mL to the unit g/m3.

Please explain the steps :)
1.75 x 106 g/m3

1.75 x 102 g/m3

1.75 x 10-2 g/m3

1.75 x 10-6 g/m3

Answer 1

ok so you have to convert mL which are cm3 to m3 and 1 cm3 is 1*10^-3 dm3 and 1*10^-6 m3 does this help?

Answer 2

yes, thanks so much :)

Answer 3

what did you choose for answer?

Answer 4

I chose the last. Is that correct?

Answer 5

nope its the first

Answer 6

oh, okay, haha. this is confusing for me, sorry :P

Answer 7

because the conversion is like follows
1,75 g/cm3 = 1,75 g/10^-6 m3
and when 10^-6 goes up it changes from - to + and you have
1,75 * 10^6 g/m3
its little difficult for me to explain like that cause english is not my native language but think logicaly if you have 1 g in 1 cm3 than you have to have more in 1 m3

Answer 8

okay, i see, so im pretty much converting negative and positive as well which is why it wasnt -6 but +6

Answer 9

when you have units you need to pay attention weather unit is up or down under /, if it is up then it stays like it is, but if it is under then you change - to + or + to -

Answer 10

ok, i understand what you're saying i think

Answer 11

now lets take example and it would be nice this one you already have... so lets start:
1,75 g/cm3 = 1,75 *10^3 g/ dm3
because 1 dm3 has 1*10^3 cm3 or 1 cm3 has 1*10^-3 dm3
now lets convert g to kg
1,75 * 10^3 g/dm3 = 1,75 kg/dm3
because 1 kg has 1*10^3 g or 1 g is 1*10^-3 kg
do you get it now more clearly?

Answer 12

yes, i do. thank you so much for your time and assistance :) i really appreciate it

Answer 13

not a problem, glad to help
