How to Convert Exagram to Atomic Mass Unit
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 Atomic Mass Unit (u).

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 Atomic Mass Unit (u)
Definition
The atomic mass unit (unified) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, approximately 1.661 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
Mathematical Relationship
1 u = 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷ kg = 1/Nₐ grams ≈ 931.494 MeV/c².
Conversion Formula
To convert u to kg: multiply by 1.6605390666 × 10⁻²⁷. To convert u to MeV/c²: multiply by 931.494.
Practical Applications
Molecular weight calculations, mass spectrometry data interpretation, and chemical stoichiometry.
Interesting Facts
A proton has a mass of ~1.007 u, a neutron ~1.009 u. The discrepancy from 1.000 reflects nuclear binding energy.
Common Mistakes
Confusing 'amu' (the old, obsolete term) with 'u' (the unified standard). Also, forgetting that 1 u ≠ 1 gram.
Educational Tips
Think of u as 'approximately the mass of one proton or neutron.' Carbon-12 = 12 u exactly (by definition).
