Discover the ease of converting centigrams (cg) to atomic mass units (amu) with Newtum's intuitive online tool. Designed to provide accurate conversions with a few clicks, it's a must-have for students and professionals alike.
A centigram is a unit of mass in the metric system, and it is equivalent to one hundredth (1/100) of a gram. It is a smaller measure used often in contexts where precise weight measurements are required, such as in pharmaceuticals or for scientific research.
Definition of Atomic Mass UnitAn atomic mass unit, often abbreviated as amu, is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of an atom or molecule. It is defined as one twelfth (1/12) the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 at rest and in its ground state.
| Centigram (cg) | Atomic Mass Unit (amu) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 cg | 6.022 x 10^20 amu |
| 0.1 cg | 6.022 x 10^21 amu |
| 1 cg | 6.022 x 10^22 amu |
| 2 cg | 1.2044 x 10^23 amu |
| 5 cg | 3.011 x 10^23 amu |
| 10 cg | 6.022 x 10^23 amu |
| 20 cg | 1.2044 x 10^24 amu |
| 50 cg | 3.011 x 10^24 amu |
| 100 cg | 6.022 x 10^24 amu |
| 200 cg | 1.2044 x 10^25 amu |
1 cg = 6.022 x 10^23 amu
Example 1:
convert 5 cg to amu:
5 cg = 5 x 6.022 x 10^23 amu = 3.011 x 10^24 amu
Example 2:
convert 1.5 cg to amu:
1.5 cg = 1.5 x 6.022 x 10^23 amu = 9.033 x 10^23 amu
