Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Conversion Factor

To convert from liters (L) to microliters ($\mu \mathrm{L}$), we need to know the conversion factor between these two units.

1 liter (L) is equal to $10^6$ microliters ($\mu \mathrm{L}$).

Step 2: Set Up the Conversion

We need to convert 27 liters (L) to microliters ($\mu \mathrm{L}$). Using the conversion factor: \[ 1 \, \text{L} = 10^6 \, \mu \text{L} \]

Step 3: Perform the Calculation

Multiply the number of liters by the conversion factor: \[ 27 \, \text{L} \times 10^6 \, \mu \text{L/L} = 27 \times 10^6 \, \mu \text{L} \]

Step 4: Express the Answer with Correct Significant Figures

The number 27 has two significant figures, so our final answer should also have two significant figures.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{2.7 \times 10^7 \, \mu \text{L}} \]
