Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gram per liter (g/L) measure?
-
Gram per liter measures mass concentration or density, defined as one gram of substance in one liter of volume.
-
When should I use attogram per liter (ag/L)?
-
Attogram per liter is used to express extremely low mass concentrations, such as nanoparticles or ultrafine aerosols in scientific research.
-
How are g/L and ag/L related?
-
1 gram per liter is equal to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 attograms per liter (1 g/L = 10^18 ag/L).
Key Terminology
-
Gram per liter (g/L)
-
A unit expressing mass concentration defined as one gram of substance per liter of volume, equivalent to 1 kilogram per cubic meter.
-
Attogram per liter (ag/L)
-
A unit representing extremely low mass concentration equal to one attogram (10^-18 grams) of substance per liter.
-
Density
-
Mass of a substance per unit volume, indicating how compact the material is.
