Be sure to answer all parts and enter your answers in scientific notation. write the 1 g equivalents using the following prefixes: (a) mega−, (b) kilo−, (c) deci−, (d) centi−, (e) milli−, (f) micro−, (g) nano−, (h) pico−. (a) 1 g = × 10 megagrams (b) 1 g = × 10 kilograms (c) 1 g = × 10 decigrams (d) 1 g = × 10 centigrams (e) 1 g = × 10 milligrams (f) 1 g = × 10 micrograms (g) 1 g = × 10 nanograms (h) 1 g = × 10 picograms

Explanation:

Gram is unit which is used to expressed mass of a substance. Many other units can be used to express the mass of a substance. All the units are inter changeable.

Conversion factors used to convert the units are:

(a) Gram to mega gram

(b) Gram to kilo gram

(c) Gram to deci gram

(d) Gram to centi gram

(e) Gram to mili gram

(f) Gram to micro gram

(g) Gram to nano gram

(h) Gram to pico gram

Hence, the conversion factors for gram equivalents are given above.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
