How many liters are in 4.3 microliters?

Express the answer in correct scientific notation.

[tex]4.3 \mu L = [?] \times 10^{[?]} L[/tex]

Enter the coefficient in the green box and the exponent in the yellow box.

Answer :

To convert 4.3 microliters to liters and express it in scientific notation, we need to follow these steps:

1. Understand the Conversion Factor:
- We know that 1 microliter (μL) is equal to [tex]\(1 \times 10^{-6}\)[/tex] liters (L). This means that microliters are a much smaller unit than liters.

2. Convert Microliters to Liters:
- To convert 4.3 microliters to liters, we multiply by the conversion factor:
[tex]\[
4.3 \, \text{μL} \times 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{L/μL} = 4.3 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{L}
\][/tex]

3. Express in Scientific Notation:
- We already obtained the answer directly in scientific notation as [tex]\(4.3 \times 10^{-6} \)[/tex] liters.

Thus, the answer is [tex]\(4.3\)[/tex] multiplied by [tex]\(10^{-6}\)[/tex] in liters.

Final Result:

- Coefficient: 4.3
- Exponent: -6

So, [tex]\(4.3 \, \mu L = 4.3 \times 10^{-6} \, L\)[/tex].
