Convert 5×10^-2 L to milliliters (mL).

Convert 5×10^-2 L to milliliters (mL).

• A. 0.05 mL
• B. 0.5 mL
• C. 5 mL
• D. 50 mL

Answer: (D)

Converting between liters and milliliters uses the fact that 1 L equals 1000 mL. To get milliliters, multiply the liter value by 1000 (or move the decimal three places to the right). Start with 5×10^-2 L, which is 0.05 L. Multiplying by 1000 gives 50 mL, so the correct result is 50 mL. You can verify by back-conversion: 50 mL equals 0.05 L. The other options correspond to smaller or larger amounts of liters (for example, 0.5 mL is 0.0005 L, 5 mL is 0.005 L, etc.), which do not match the original value.
