    Known as the "Potato King of the World" by 1902, Groves optimized potato growth methods, out-producing anyone else in the world to that point. His vast financial success—‌analyzed further in Booker T. Washington's The Negro in Business (1907)—‌was utilized to help combat racism by providing economic opportunities for other black Americans.

  3. Mole (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    Because a dalton, a unit commonly used to measure atomic mass, is exactly 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, this definition of the mole entailed that the mass of one mole of a compound or element in grams was numerically equal to the average mass of one molecule or atom of the substance in daltons, and that the number of daltons in a gram ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass

    In chemistry, the molar mass (M) (sometimes called molecular weight or formula weight, but see related quantities for usage) of a chemical compound is defined as the ratio between the mass and the amount of substance (measured in moles) of any sample of the compound. [1] The molar mass is a bulk, not molecular, property of a substance.

  9. Potato paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_paradox

    Let x be the new total mass of the potatoes (dry + water). Let d be the dry mass of the potatoes and w, the mass of water within the potatoes. Recall w is 98% of the total mass, that is, w = 0.98x. Therefore, x = d + w = d + 0.98x, i.e., x = d / 0.02 = 50 kg. In our case, d = 1 kg so the new mass of the potatoes will indeed be 50 kg.
