A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement
(-5.6*10 to power of 4 mol/kg)=? Mol/g
To convert from mol/kg to mol/g, we need to divide the measurement by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram.
Therefore, the equation to convert -5.6 * 10^4 mol/kg to mol/g is:
(-5.6 * 10^4 mol/kg) / 1000 = -5.6 * 10^1 mol/g.
To convert the measurement from mol/kg to mol/g, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 g in 1 kg.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
1. Start with the given measurement: -5.6 * 10^4 mol/kg
2. Divide the measurement by 1000: (-5.6 * 10^4 mol/kg) / 1000
3. Simplify the equation: -5.6 * 10^4 / 1000
4. Calculate the division: -5.6 * 10^4 / 1000 = -5.6 * 10^(4-3)
5. Simplify the exponent: -5.6 * 10^(4-3) = -5.6 * 10^1
6. Multiply the coefficient by 10 raised to the exponent: -5.6 * 10^1 = -56
So, (-5.6 * 10^4 mol/kg) converts to -56 mol/g.
