1 femtogram (fg) = 1E-15 gram (g). Femtogram (fg) is a unit of Weight used in Metric system. Gram (g) is a unit of Weight used in Metric system.

Femtograms: A Unit of Weight

Femtograms are a unit of weight that are used for measuring extremely small masses, such as atoms, molecules, and particles. Femtograms are also known as trillionths of a gram. The symbol for femtogram is fg.

Definition of the Femtogram

The femtogram is defined as one trillionth of a gram, which is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). The femtogram is also equal to one thousandth of a picogram or one millionth of a nanogram.

The femtogram is equal to about 2.2×10-18 pounds or 1.54×10-14 grains. The femtogram is also equal to about 6.02×10-20 atomic mass units or 1.66×10-30 kilograms.

How to Convert Femtograms

Femtograms can be converted to other units of weight by using conversion factors or formulas. Here are some examples of how to convert femtograms to other units of weight in the US customary system and the SI system:

• To convert femtograms to pounds, multiply by 2.2×10-18. For example, 10 fg = 10 x 2.2×10-18 = 2.2×10-17 lb.
• To convert femtograms to grains, multiply by 1.54×10-14. For example, 5 fg = 5 x 1.54×10-14 = 7.7×10-14 gr.
• To convert femtograms to tonnes, multiply by 1×10-18. For example, 20 fg = 20 x 1×10-18 = 2×10-17 t.
• To convert femtograms to kilograms, multiply by 1×10-15. For example, 15 fg = 15 x 1×10-15 = 1.5×10-14 kg.
• To convert femtograms to grams, multiply by 1×10-12. For example, 25 fg = 25 x 1×10-12 = 2.5×10-11 g.
• To convert femtograms to milligrams, multiply by 0.000000001. For example, 30 fg = 30 x 0.000000001 = 0.00000003 mg.

Where Femtograms are Used

Femtograms are used in different countries and regions for different applications and purposes. Here are some examples of where femtograms are used:

• In the fields of physics, chemistry, and microbiology, femtograms are used for measuring weight, especially for atoms, molecules, and particles.
• In the fields of medicine and pharmacology, femtograms are used for measuring weight, especially for drugs, hormones, and biomarkers.
• In the fields of biotechnology and nanotechnology, femtograms are used for measuring weight, especially for nanostructures, nanomaterials, and nanodevices.
• In the fields of environmental science and toxicology, femtograms are used for measuring weight, especially for pollutants, contaminants, and toxins.

History of Femtograms

Femtograms have a relatively recent history that dates back to the late 20th century. Here are some highlights of the history of femtograms:

• The femtogram was derived from the gram, which was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density of four degrees Celsius in the late 18th century.
• The femtogram was part of the metric system that was introduced in France in the late 18th century as a decimal-based system of measurement that was designed to replace the traditional units that varied from region to region.
• The femtogram was adopted by many countries around the world as part of the International System of Units (SI) that was established in the mid 20th century as a universal system of measurement that was based on seven base units and several derived units.
• The femtogram was also referred to as the trillionth of a gram or the millinano gram in some countries and contexts to emphasize its extremely small size.

Example Conversions of Femtograms to Other Units

Here are some examples of conversions of femtograms to other units of weight:

• 1 fg = 2.2×10-18 lb
• 1 fg = 1.54×10-14 gr
• 1 fg = 1×10-18 t
• 1 fg = 1×10-15 kg
• 1 fg = 1×10-12 g
• 1 fg = 0.000000001 mg
• 1 fg = 6.02×10-20 u
• 1 fg = 1.66×10-30 kN
• 1 fg = 3.53×10-20 oz

Grams: A Unit of Weight

Grams are a unit of weight that are used in the International System of Units (SI), also known as the metric system. Grams are derived from the French word gramme, which was taken from the Late Latin term gramma, meaning a small weight. The symbol for gram is g.

How to Convert Grams

Grams can be converted to other units of weight by using conversion factors or formulas. Here are some examples of how to convert grams to other units of weight in the US customary system and the SI system:

• To convert grams to ounces, divide by 28.349523125. For example, 100 g = 100 / 28.349523125 = 3.527 oz.
• To convert grams to pounds, divide by 453.59237. For example, 500 g = 500 / 453.59237 = 1.102 lb.
• To convert grams to tons (short), divide by 907184.74. For example, 1000 g = 1000 / 907184.74 = 0.0011 ton.
• To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1000. For example, 200 g = 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kg.
• To convert grams to milligrams, multiply by 1000. For example, 50 g = 50 x 1000 = 50000 mg.
• To convert grams to micrograms, multiply by 1000000. For example, 10 g = 10 x 1000000 = 10000000 µg.
