Textbook Question
Chapter 7.4, Problem 5CC
In January 2008, Scientific American reported that physicists Peter Sutter and Eli Sutter of Brookhaven National Laboratories made a pipette to measure droplets in units of a zeptoliter [zl ]. Previously, the smallest unit of measure in a pipette was an attoliter [al]. Convert the measurement of 5 zeptoliters [zl] into units of picoliters [pl].
