1 μm – edge of cube of volume 10 −18 m 3 (1 fL) 1–10 μm – diameter of a typical bacterium [citation needed] 1 μm – length of a lysosome; 1–2 μm – anthrax spore [84] 2 μm – length of an average E. coli bacteria; 3–4 μm – size of a typical yeast cell [85] 5 μm – length of a typical human spermatozoon's head [86]
A litre is a cubic decimetre, which is the volume of a cube 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres (1 L ≡ 1 dm 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3 ; and 1 m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L.
Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. To ease calculations, a unit of volume is equal to the volume occupied by a unit cube (with a side length of one). Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3).
Of all the perchlorates, lithium perchlorate has both the highest oxygen to weight and oxygen to volume ratio, except beryllium diperchlorate which is expensive and toxic. The Vika system uses a canister containing about 1 liter (2.4 kg) of perchlorate to generate 600 liters (0.86 kg) of oxygen, enough for one person for one day.
Alcohol by volume (abbreviated as alc/vol or ABV) is a standard measure of the volume of alcohol contained in a given volume of an alcoholic beverage, expressed as a volume percent. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is defined as the number of millilitres (mL) of pure ethanol present in 100 mL (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 US fl oz) of solution at 20 °C (68 °F).
The EcoPeace Middle East, a joint Israeli-Palestinian-Jordanian environmental group, has estimated that the annual flow into the Dead Sea from the Jordan is as of 2021 less than 100,000,000 cubic metres (3.5 × 10 9 cu ft) of water, compared with former flows of between 1,200,000,000 cubic metres (4.2 × 10 10 cu ft) and 1,300,000,000 cubic ...
Borosilicate glasses have fairly low coefficients of thermal expansion (7740 Pyrex CTE is 3.25 × 10 −6 /°C [78] as compared to about 9 × 10 −6 /°C for a typical soda–lime glass [79]). They are, therefore, less subject to stress caused by thermal expansion and thus less vulnerable to cracking from thermal shock .
Mauna Loa is a shield volcano with relatively gentle slopes, and a volume estimated at 18,000 cubic miles (75,000 km 3), [5] although its peak is about 125 feet (38 m) lower than that of its neighbor, Mauna Kea. [6] Lava eruptions from Mauna Loa are silica-poor and very fluid, and tend to be non-explosive.
