Chapter 1, Problem 1.92P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given quantity of nicotine is to be converted to g and μg.

Concept introduction:

Conversion factor is the numerical ratio that can be used to convert one set of units into another. To convert the units from one system to another the conversion factor ratio is written such that the unwanted units are canceled out.

The conversion factor to convert the milligrams to grams is as follows:

  1 mg=103 g

The conversion factor to convert the micrograms to grams is as follows:

  1 μg=103 g

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the smoker gets more or less nicotine per day is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The conversion factor to convert the milligrams to grams is as follows:

  1 mg=103 g

The conversion factor to convert the grams to micrograms is as follows:

  1 μg=103 g
