B) 0.0004 L
C) 0.04 L
D) 0.4 L

Answer :

Final answer:

The question involves converting units of volume using metric prefixes. The specific conversion of 40.0μl to liters results in 0.00004 liters, Thus, the correct option is A) 0.00004L.

Explanation:

The question involves converting different units of volume to liters (L), deciliters (dL), milliliters (mL), microliters (μl), and nanoliters (nL). These conversions require understanding the metric prefixes and their conversion factors related to the liter, which is the base unit for volume in the metric system. For example, 1 microliter (μl) is equal to 1 x 10-6 liters (0.000001 L), and 1 milliliter (mL) is equal to 1 x 10-3 liters (0.001 L). When converting 40.0μl to liters, the correct conversion factor shows that this amount is equal to 0.00004 liters, making the correct answer to the question A) 0.00004L.
