Discover the ease of converting atomic mass units (AMU) to femtograms (FG) with our user-friendly tool, designed to provide accurate conversions instantly.
The atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of an atom or molecule. It is defined as one-twelfth the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 (C-12) in its nuclear and electronic ground state, and it is equivalent to 1.66053906660 x 10^-27 kilograms.
Definition of FemtogramA femtogram (fg) is an extremely small unit of mass in the metric system, equivalent to 10^-15 grams. It's used to measure minuscule weights, such as those of particles like viruses, DNA, and other cellular components, where precision is paramount due to the tiny scale of these elements.
| Atomic Mass Unit (amu) | Femtogram (fg) |
|---|---|
| 1 amu | 1.66053906660 fg |
| 10 amu | 16.6053906660 fg |
| 100 amu | 166.053906660 fg |
| 500 amu | 830.269533300 fg |
| 1,000 amu | 1660.53906660 fg |
| 5,000 amu | 8302.69533300 fg |
| 10,000 amu | 16605.3906660 fg |
| 50,000 amu | 83026.9533300 fg |
| 100,000 amu | 166053.906660 fg |
| 1,000,000 amu | 1660539.06660 fg |
1 amu = 1.66053906660 fg
1 fg = 0.601846 x 10^-15 amu
Example 1:
Convert 12 amu to fg:
12 amu = 12 × 1.66053906660 fg = 19.9264687992 fg
Example 2:
Convert 250 amu to fg:
250 amu = 250 × 1.66053906660 fg = 415.134766650 fg
A brief history of the atomic mass unit (amu) to femtogram (fg) conversion begins with the establishment of the amu based on the carbon-12 isotope in the 20th century. As scientific research advanced, the need for measuring incredibly small masses in femtograms emerged, particularly in fields like chemistry and biology.
