Write each of the following in terms of the SI base unit (that is, express the prefix as the power of 10).
- a 1.07 ps
- b 5.8 μm
- c 319 nm
- d 15.3 ms
(a)

Interpretation:
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10.
Concept Introduction:
Metric prefix is the one which follows a basic unit of measurement in order to indicate fraction or multiple of the units. There are seven SI base units. From these base units all the other units can be derived. Prefix is used to indicate the value in power of 10. This is a physical quantity and it is known as SI prefix. The seven base units are meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, mole, ampere, and candela. Some of the prefix are mega, kilo, deci, centi etc.
Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 1.07 × 10-12 s.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 1.07 ps
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 ps =10-12 sTherefore,1.07 ps =1.07 × 10-12 s
(b)

Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 5.8 × 10-6 m.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 5.8 μm
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 μm =10-6 mTherefore,5.8 μm =5.8 × 10-6 m
(c)

Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 3.19 × 10-7 m.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 319 nm
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 nm =10-9 mTherefore,319 nm=319 × 10-9 m=3.19 × 10-7 m
(d)

Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 1.53 × 10-2 s.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 15.3 ms
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 ms =10-3 sTherefore,15.3 ms=15.3 × 10-3 s=1.53 × 10-2 s

- CHEM 310 Quiz 8 Organic Chemistry II Due: Tuesday, April 25th, at 11:59 pm. This quiz is open textbook / open notes - but you must work alone. You cannot use the internet or the solutions manual for the book. Scan in your work and record an explanation of your mechanism. You may record this any way that you like. One way would be to start an individual Zoom meeting, start recording, "share your screen" and then talk through the problem. This will be converted to an .mp4 file that you can upload into Canvas using the "record/upload media" feature. Pyridine, benzoic acid and benzene are dissolved in ethyl acetate. Design and provide a plan / flow chart for separating and isolating each of these components. Pyridine and benzene are liquids at room temperature. Benzoic acid is a solid.
