Question

How many micro-liters are in 6.75 dekaliters of sodium hydroxide solution?
Show all work using the factor label method.

Answer 1

The Conversion factor to convert deka to micro is given as :

1 deka = 10000000 micro

Now let us use factor label method to convert 6.75 dekaliters of sodium hydroxide to microliters .

We already know that :

1 dekaliter = 10000000 microliter

The factor label method is given by:

$Given unit*\frac{Wanted unit }{Given unit}= Wanted unit$

Given unit is 6.75 deka liters

Wanted unit is microliters (10000000 microliters)

plugging the values

$6.75 deka liters*\frac{10000000 microliters }{1 micro liters}= 67500000 dekaliters$

So we have,

6.75 deka liters = 67500000 microliters.

Answer :There are 67500000 micro-liters  in 6.75 dekaliters of sodium hydroxide solution.
