Common Conversion Factors
Area-length-volume
1 acre = 43,560 ft2 = 4,047 m2
1 acre-foot = 1.2335 × 103 m3
1 cubic foot (ft3) = 0.0283 m3
1 hectare (ha) = 10,000 m2 = 2.47 acres
1 square mile (sq mi) = 2.59 × 106 m2
Pressure
1 atmosphere = 76.0 cm Hg = 1,013 millibars
(mbar)
1 bar = 0.9869 atmosphere
1 pascal (Pa) = 0.9869 × 10-5 atmosphere = 1 × 10-2 mbar = 10
mbar = 1.4504 × 10-4
pounds per square inch (psi)
Carbon and Carbon dioxide
1 mole C/liter = 12.011 × 10-3 Gt C/km3
1 ppm by volume of atmosphere CO2 = 2.13 Gt C
1 mole CO2 = 44.009
g CO2 = 12.011 g C
1 g C = 0.083 mole CO2 = 3.664 g CO2
