Discover the precision of our Carat to Dalton Converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool effortlessly translates ct to Da, sparking your curiosity to explore more about its capabilities.
A carat (ct) is a unit of mass used for measuring gemstones and pearls. Historically, it was equal to the mass of a carob seed, but today, one carat is standardized at 200 milligrams. Often confused with karat, a measure of gold purity, carat solely quantifies weight, playing a crucial role in the valuation of precious stones.
Definition of DaltonThe Dalton (Da), also known as the unified atomic mass unit, is a standard unit of mass that quantifies atoms and molecules. It is equivalent to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, approximately 1.66053906660 x 10^-27 kilograms. The Dalton is fundamental in chemistry and physics for expressing atomic and molecular masses.
| Carat (ct) | Dalton (Da) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 ct | 1.20442733 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.2 ct | 2.40885466 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.3 ct | 3.61328199 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.4 ct | 4.81770932 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.5 ct | 6.02213665 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.6 ct | 7.22656398 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.7 ct | 8.43099131 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.8 ct | 9.63541864 × 10^23 Da |
| 0.9 ct | 1.083984597 × 10^24 Da |
| 1 ct | 1.20442733 × 10^24 Da |
1 ct = 1.20442733 × 10^24 Da
1 Da = 8.30267350 × 10^-25 ct
Example 1:
Convert 2 ct to Da:
2 ct = 2 × 1.20442733 × 10^24 Da = 2.40885466 × 10^24 Da
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 ct to Da:
0.5 ct = 0.5 × 1.20442733 × 10^24 Da = 6.02213665 × 10^23 Da
Carat to Dalton conversions have become essential in fields requiring precision in mass, such as gemology and molecular science. Initially separate concepts, the need for a reliable method to equate the mass of gemstones (carat) to atomic mass units (Dalton) led to the creation of converters that facilitate this niche but critical task.
Explore how the Carat to Dalton Converter bridges the gap between gemology and molecular science, unlocking practical applications.
Example 1: To convert 0.3 ct to Daltons, we use the converter to find that 0.3 ct equals 3.61328199 × 10^23 Da.
Example 2: Converting 1.5 ct to Daltons gives us a result of 1.806640995 × 10^24 Da, illustrating the converter's utility in precise mass measurements.
