How to Convert Exagram to Dalton
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
For example, 1 Exagram (Eg) = 6.022141e+41 Dalton (Da).

About Exagram (Eg)
Definition
The exagram equals 10¹⁸ grams or 10¹⁵ kilograms — one trillion tonnes.
Mathematical Relationship
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
Conversion Formula
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
No everyday applications. Describes masses of small moons or large asteroids.
Interesting Facts
Earth's total mass is about 5.97 × 10⁶ Eg. The entire atmosphere weighs 'only' about 5 Eg.
Common Mistakes
Hardly ever encountered — most contexts use 'times 10^x kg' notation instead of exagrams.
Educational Tips
If you need to express masses between Pg and Earth-masses, the exagram fills that gap: 1 Eg = 10¹⁵ kg.
About Dalton (Da)
Definition
The dalton is a unit of mass equal to one unified atomic mass unit (1/12 of a carbon-12 atom), approximately 1.661 × 10⁻²⁷ kg.
Mathematical Relationship
1 Da = 1 u = 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷ kg. Proteins range from ~5 kDa to >1,000 kDa.
Conversion Formula
To convert Da to kg: multiply by 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷. 1 kDa = 1,000 Da.
Practical Applications
Protein molecular weights (hemoglobin ≈ 64.5 kDa), DNA fragment sizing, and antibody characterization.
Interesting Facts
Titin, the largest known protein, has a molecular weight of about 3,800 kDa (3.8 MDa). The average protein is ~40–50 kDa.
Common Mistakes
The dalton and u are identical — they're just preferred in different fields (Da in biology, u in chemistry/physics).
Educational Tips
If a paper says a protein is '50 kDa,' that's 50,000 atomic mass units — about 50,000 hydrogen atoms' worth of mass.
