  2. Equivalent weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_weight

    For example, 50 g of zinc will react with oxygen to produce 62.24 g of zinc oxide, implying that the zinc has reacted with 12.24 g of oxygen (from the Law of conservation of mass): the equivalent weight of zinc is the mass which will react with eight grams of oxygen, hence 50 g × 8 g/12.24 g = 32.7 g.

  3. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    All objects on the Earth's surface are subject to a gravitational acceleration of approximately 9.8 m/s 2. The General Conference on Weights and Measures fixed the value of standard gravity at precisely 9.80665 m/s 2 so that disciplines such as metrology would have a standard value for converting units of defined mass into defined forces and ...

  4. Equivalence principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_principle

    The equivalence principle is the hypothesis that the observed equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass is a consequence of nature. The weak form, known for centuries, relates to masses of any composition in free fall taking the same trajectories and landing at identical times.

  5. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    In ethylene there is a double bond between the carbon atoms (and thus each carbon only has two hydrogens), therefore the chemical formula may be written: CH 2 CH 2, and the fact that there is a double bond between the carbons is implicit because carbon has a valence of four. However, a more explicit method is to write H 2 C=CH 2 or less ...

  6. Molar mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass

    For example, water has a molar mass of 18.0153(3) g/mol, but individual water molecules have molecular masses which range between 18.010 564 6863 (15) Da (1 H 2 16 O) and 22.027 7364 (9) Da (2 H 2 18 O). The distinction between molar mass and molecular mass is important because relative molecular masses can be measured directly by mass ...

  7. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    It is also known as the universal gravitational constant, the Newtonian constant of gravitation, or the Cavendish gravitational constant, [a] denoted by the capital letter G. In Newton's law, it is the proportionality constant connecting the gravitational force between two bodies with the product of their masses and the inverse square of their ...

  8. Gravitational field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_field

    Determined in this way, the gravitational field g around a single particle of mass M is a vector field consisting at every point of a vector pointing directly towards the particle. The magnitude of the field at every point is calculated by applying the universal law, and represents the force per unit mass on any object at that point in space.

  9. Standard gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity

    It is a constant defined by standard as 9.806 65 m/s 2 (about 32.174 05 ft/s 2). This value was established by the third General Conference on Weights and Measures (1901, CR 70) and used to define the standard weight of an object as the product of its mass and this nominal acceleration .
