  2. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    In the cases where non-SI units are used, the numerical calculation of a formula can be done by first working out the factor, and then plug in the numerical values of the given/known quantities. For example, in the study of Bose–Einstein condensate , [ 6 ] atomic mass m is usually given in daltons , instead of kilograms , and chemical ...

  3. Micrometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometre

    The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; [1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, [2] is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling 1 × 10 −6 metre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10 −6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a ...

  4. Langmuir (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir_(unit)

    The langmuir is defined by multiplying the pressure of the gas by the time of exposure. One langmuir corresponds to an exposure of 10 −6 Torr during one second. [1] [2] For example, exposing a surface to a gas pressure of 10 −8 Torr for 100 seconds corresponds to 1 L.

  5. Molar concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_concentration

    m(NaCl) = 2 mol/L × 0.1 L × 58 g/mol = 11.6 g. To create the solution, 11.6 g NaCl is placed in a volumetric flask, dissolved in some water, then followed by the addition of more water until the total volume reaches 100 mL. The density of water is approximately 1000 g/L and its molar mass is 18.02 g/mol (or 1/18.02 = 0.055 mol/g). Therefore ...

  6. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.

  7. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    The ideal gas equation can be rearranged to give an expression for the molar volume of an ideal gas: = = Hence, for a given temperature and pressure, the molar volume is the same for all ideal gases and is based on the gas constant: R = 8.314 462 618 153 24 m 3 ⋅Pa⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1, or about 8.205 736 608 095 96 × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅atm⋅K ...

  8. Monitor unit - Wikipedia

    [2] [3] The most common definitions are: [4] The monitor chamber reads 100 MU when an absorbed dose of 1 gray (100 rads) is delivered to a point at the depth of maximum dose in a water-equivalent phantom whose surface is at the isocenter of the machine (i.e. usually at 100 cm from the source) with a field size at the surface of 10 cm × 10 cm.

  9. Barn (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_(unit)

    A barn (symbol: b) is a metric unit of area equal to 10 −28 m 2 (100 fm 2).This is equivalent to a square that is 10 −14 m (10 fm) each side, or a circle of diameter approximately 1.128 × 10 −14 m (11.28 fm).
