  2. Kip (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A kip is a US customary unit of force. It equals 1000 pounds-force , and is used primarily by structural engineers to indicate forces where the value represented in pound-force is inefficient. Although uncommon, it is occasionally also considered a unit of mass , equal to 1000 pounds (i.e. one half of a short ton ).

  3. Amount of substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amount_of_substance

    Historically, the mole was defined as the amount of substance in 12 grams of the carbon-12 isotope.As a consequence, the mass of one mole of a chemical compound, in grams, is numerically equal (for all practical purposes) to the mass of one molecule or formula unit of the compound, in daltons, and the molar mass of an isotope in grams per mole is approximately equal to the mass number ...

  4. Molar mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass

    Molecular weight (M.W.) (for molecular compounds) and formula weight (F.W.) (for non-molecular compounds), are older terms for what is now more correctly called the relative molar mass (M r). [8] This is a dimensionless quantity (i.e., a pure number, without units) equal to the molar mass divided by the molar mass constant. [notes 1]

  5. Mole (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The SI value of the mole was chosen on the basis of the historical definition of the mole as the amount of substance that corresponds to the number of atoms in 12 grams of 12 C, [1] which made the mass of a mole of a compound expressed in grams, numerically equal to the average molecular mass or formula mass of the compound expressed in daltons.

    As a more complex example, the concentration of nitrogen oxides (NO x) in the flue gas from an industrial furnace can be converted to a mass flow rate expressed in grams per hour (g/h) of NO x by using the following information as shown below: NO x concentration = 10 parts per million by volume = 10 ppmv = 10 volumes/10 6 volumes NO x molar mass

  7. Gram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram

    The gram (originally gramme; [1] SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.. Originally defined as of 1795 as "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm 3], and at the temperature of melting ice", [2] the defining temperature (≈0 °C) was later changed to 4 ...

  8. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    The kilogram is the only coherent SI unit whose name and symbol include a prefix. For historical reasons, the names and symbols for multiples and sub-multiples of the unit of mass are formed as if the gram were the base unit. Prefix names and symbols are attached to the unit name gram and the unit symbol g respectively.

  9. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    Mole ratio: Convert moles of Cu to moles of Ag produced; Mole to mass: Convert moles of Ag to grams of Ag produced; The complete balanced equation would be: Cu + 2 AgNO 3 → Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2 Ag. For the mass to mole step, the mass of copper (16.00 g) would be converted to moles of copper by dividing the mass of copper by its molar mass: 63.55 g/mol.
