What is a decigram [dg]?

A decigram is an SI-derived mass unit equal to one tenth of a gram (0.1 g), used to measure small masses with fine resolution.

What does the atomic mass unit [u] represent?

The atomic mass unit is defined as one twelfth the mass of a neutral carbon-12 atom, providing a scale to express atomic and molecular masses.

Why convert decigrams to atomic mass units?

Conversion enables scaling macroscopic weights to atomic or molecular mass scales, supporting precise scientific measurements in fields like chemistry and nuclear physics.
