Practice: Based on the above example convert 5.71 ppb into the units presented below.
kg/μL
Metric Prefixes serve as labels for common base units.
Metric Prefix Multipliers
Concept #1: Metric Prefixes can change small or large, inconvenient numbers into manageable ones.
Whenever using the metric prefix chart, remember that “1” is associated with the metric prefix.
Example #1: It is safe to assume that all dilute aqueous solutions have a density near 1.00 g/mL . If a solution is 2.50 ppt express the concentration in the following units.
pg/dL
