What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform volume measurements from the cor, an ancient Biblical unit for dry goods, into femtoliters, which measure extremely small liquid volumes in scientific fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in cor (Biblical) that you want to convert.
-
Select cor (Biblical) as the source unit and femtoliter [fL] as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in femtoliters.
-
Review the results and use them for your historical or scientific analysis.
Key Features
-
Supports conversion between cor (Biblical) and femtoliter [fL] units.
-
Accurately reflects the defined conversion rate: 1 cor equals 220,000,000,000,000,000 femtoliters.
-
Useful for bridging historical volume measurements with modern nanoscale scientific units.
-
Browser-based, easy to use with simple input and output.
-
Includes examples to illustrate conversion results.
Examples
-
2 Cor (Biblical) equals 440,000,000,000,000,000 femtoliters.
-
0.5 Cor (Biblical) equals 110,000,000,000,000,000 femtoliters.
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting grain and oil quantities reported in ancient Biblical texts.
-
Conducting archaeological and historical studies on storage and agricultural volume capacities.
-
Comparing ancient economic and measurement systems with modern metrics.
-
Measuring volumes at the cellular and microdroplet scale in biology and chemistry.
-
Designing experiments involving single-cell and microfluidic volumes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the context of the cor measurement due to its approximate nature.
-
Use this converter primarily for theoretical or interdisciplinary studies bridging ancient and modern volume scales.
-
Consider the large difference in scale when relating dry volumes in cor to tiny liquid volumes in femtoliters.
-
Apply results carefully in scientific contexts to ensure relevance.
Limitations
-
The cor is an approximate ancient measure and may vary in different historical sources.
-
Converting from large dry units to extremely small liquid units involves very different scales that may limit practical application.
-
This conversion is more suitable for specialized research than for everyday volume conversion needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cor (Biblical)?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew unit of dry volume, equal to 10 ephahs and commonly estimated to be about 220 liters.
-
What does one femtoliter represent?
-
A femtoliter is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, measuring extremely small volumes such as those in single cells or microdroplets.
-
Why convert cor to femtoliter?
-
Users convert cor to femtoliter to translate large ancient dry volume units into very small liquid volumes useful for scientific and interdisciplinary research.
Key Terminology
