A dekagram (dag) is a metric mass unit equal to 10 grams, commonly used for weighing small items like food portions.

What does deuteron mass represent?

Deuteron mass is the rest mass of the deuteron nucleus, made of one proton and one neutron, used primarily in nuclear physics.

Is this conversion useful for everyday mass measurements?

No, this conversion is intended for specialized scientific purposes and not practical for normal daily mass conversions.
