What are Dalton and Petagram

Definition of Dalton

A Dalton, often referred to as an atomic mass unit (amu), is a unit of mass commonly used in chemistry and physics to express the masses of atoms and molecules. One Dalton is defined as one twelfth of the mass of a free neutral carbon-12 atom, at rest and in its ground state. It is a fundamental constant that enables scientists to discuss and compare the weights of different atoms and molecules on a relative scale.

Definition of Petagram

A Petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass within the metric system equal to 10^15 grams. It is a rarely used unit because it represents an extremely large mass, typically not encountered in everyday measurements. Petagrams may be used in scientific contexts involving Earth's mass, the carbon cycle, or other planetary-scale phenomena where such vast quantities need precise quantification.

Dalton to Petagram Conversion Table

Dalton (Da) Petagram (Pg)
1 x 10^14 Da 1 x 10^-1 Pg
2 x 10^14 Da 2 x 10^-1 Pg
5 x 10^14 Da 5 x 10^-1 Pg
1 x 10^15 Da 1 Pg
2 x 10^15 Da 2 Pg
5 x 10^15 Da 5 Pg
1 x 10^16 Da 10 Pg
2 x 10^16 Da 20 Pg
5 x 10^16 Da 50 Pg
1 x 10^17 Da 100 Pg

Conversion of Dalton to Petagram

1 Da = 1.66053906660 x 10^-24 grams
1 Pg = 1 x 10^15 grams

Example 1:
Convert 1 x 10^14 Da to Pg:
1 x 10^14 Da = (1 x 10^14 * 1.66053906660 x 10^-24) / (1 x 10^15) Pg = 1 x 10^-1 Pg

Example 2:
Convert 5 x 10^15 Da to Pg:
5 x 10^15 Da = (5 x 10^15 * 1.66053906660 x 10^-24) / (1 x 10^15) Pg = 5 Pg

History of Dalton and Petagram

A brief history of the Dalton to Petagram Converter reveals its origins in scientific necessity. As researchers dealt with increasingly large data sets involving atomic and molecular masses, the need for a tool that could seamlessly translate between the microscale of Daltons and the macroscale of Petagrams became evident.
