  2. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    The CGS unit is the poise (P, or g·cm −1 ·s −1 = 0.1 Pa·s), [28] named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It is commonly expressed, particularly in ASTM standards, as centipoise (cP). The centipoise is convenient because the viscosity of water at 20 °C is about 1 cP, and one centipoise is equal to the SI millipascal second (mPa·s).

  3. Equivalent concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_concentration

    Here, ⁠ 1 / f eq ⁠ can have a fractional (non-integer) value. In precipitation reactions, the equivalence factor measures the number of ions which will precipitate in a given reaction. Here, ⁠ 1 / f eq ⁠ is an integer value. Normal concentration of an ionic solution is also related to conductivity (electrolytic) through the use of ...

  4. Glycerol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol

    Triglyceride 3 NaOH / H 2 O Δ 3 × soap 3 × glycerol Triglycerides can be saponified with sodium hydroxide to give glycerol and fatty sodium salt or soap. Typical plant sources include soybeans or palm. Animal-derived tallow is another source. Approximately 950,000 tons per year are produced in the United States and Europe; 350,000 tons of glycerol were produced per year in the U.S. alone ...

  5. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    In food science, water activity (a w) of a food is the ratio of its vapor pressure to the vapor pressure of water at the same temperature, both taken at equilibrium. [1] Pure water has a water activity of one. Put another way, a w is the equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) expressed as a fraction instead of as a percentage.

  6. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity_(electrolytic)

    The electronic conductivity of purified distilled water in electrochemical laboratory settings at room temperature is often between 0.05 and 1 μS/cm. Environmental influences during the preparation of salt solutions as gas absorption due to storing the water in an unsealed beaker may immediately increase the conductivity from / and lead to ...

  7. McFarland standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFarland_standards

    A 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared by mixing 0.05 mL of 1.175% barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl 2 •2H 2 O), with 9.95 mL of 1% sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). [ 1 ] Now there are McFarland standards prepared from suspensions of latex particles, which lengthens the shelf life and stability of the suspensions.

  8. Blood alcohol content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

    For example, in the 1930s Widmark measured alcohol and blood by mass, and thus reported his concentrations in units of g/kg or mg/g, weight alcohol per weight blood. Blood is denser than water and 1 mL of blood has a mass of approximately 1.055 grams, thus a mass-volume BAC of 1 g/L corresponds to a mass-mass BAC of 0.948 mg/g.

  9. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    1 km 2 means one square kilometre, or the area of a square of 1000 m by 1000 m. In other words, an area of 1 000 000 square metres and not 1000 square metres. 2 Mm 3 means two cubic megametres, or the volume of two cubes of 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m, i.e. 2 × 10 18 m 3, and not 2 000 000 cubic metres (2 × 10 6 m 3).
