What is a dalton used for?

A dalton is used to express atomic and molecular masses, commonly in chemistry, biochemistry, and polymer science.

When would I use exagrams as a unit?

Exagrams are used to describe very large masses such as those of astronomical bodies or global-scale material totals.

Is this conversion practical for everyday measurements?

No, because the results are extremely small decimals and the units measure vastly different mass scales.

Key Terminology

Dalton (Da): A unit of mass equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, used to express atomic and molecular masses.
Exagram (Eg): An SI-derived unit of mass equal to 10^18 grams, used for expressing very large masses such as astronomical bodies.

Quick Knowledge Check
