Why is the conversion factor so large when converting mg/cm³ to fg/L?

Because femtogram is a factor of 10^-15 grams and liter and cubic centimeter are volumetric units differing by a factor of 1000, the conversion results in a very large number representing fine mass concentrations.

Can I use this conversion for any density measurement regardless of physical state?

No, this conversion assumes solid-to-liquid density context and consistent physical conditions; it is important to consider if the measurement applies to solids or liquid suspensions.

What are typical fields where this conversion is useful?

This conversion is commonly employed in environmental science for ultratrace detection, analytical chemistry with mass spectrometry, and biomedical research involving nanoparticle or cellular mass concentration.
