A gigagram is a unit of mass in the metric system equivalent to one billion (1,000,000,000) grams. It's commonly used in scientific contexts where large masses, such as geological or astronomical measurements, are being quantified. The prefix 'giga' denotes a factor of a billion, which is a substantial quantity, making a gigagram a significant measure of mass.
Definition of DaltonThe dalton, also known as the unified atomic mass unit, is a unit of mass widely used to express the masses of atoms and molecules. It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its ground state. The dalton is a critical unit in chemistry and physics for quantifying atomic and molecular masses with high precision.
| Gigagram (Gg) | Dalton (Da) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 Gg | 6.022 x 10^22 Da |
| 0.1 Gg | 6.022 x 10^23 Da |
| 1 Gg | 6.022 x 10^24 Da |
| 2 Gg | 1.2044 x 10^25 Da |
| 5 Gg | 3.011 x 10^25 Da |
| 10 Gg | 6.022 x 10^25 Da |
| 20 Gg | 1.2044 x 10^26 Da |
| 50 Gg | 3.011 x 10^26 Da |
| 100 Gg | 6.022 x 10^26 Da |
| 200 Gg | 1.2044 x 10^27 Da |
1 Gg = 6.022 x 10^23 Da
1 Da = 1.66053906660 x 10^-24 Gg
Example 1:
convert 0.5 Gg to Da:
0.5 Gg = 0.5 x 6.022 x 10^23 Da = 3.011 x 10^23 Da
Example 2:
convert 2 Gg to Da:
2 Gg = 2 x 6.022 x 10^23 Da = 1.2044 x 10^24 Da
The concept of converting gigagrams to daltons stems from the need to bridge large scale mass measurements with atomic scale weights. This converter tool is a modern invention that simplifies complex conversions, making it easier for scientists to work across different mass units in their research.
Explore the practical applications of the Gg to Da converter and see how it innovates measurements in science and technology.
Example 1:
To convert 0.001 Gg to daltons:
0.001 Gg = 0.001 x 6.022 x 10^23 Da = 6.022 x 10^20 Da
Example 2:
To convert 0.05 Gg to daltons:
0.05 Gg = 0.05 x 6.022 x 10^23 Da = 3.011 x 10^22 Da
