  2. Alternative approaches to redefining the kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_approaches_to...

    For instance when the elevation of the centre of the gravimeter differs from that of the nearby test mass in the Kibble balance, the NIST compensates for Earth's gravity gradient of 309 μGal/m, which affects the weight of a one-kilogram test mass by about 316 μg/m.

  3. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), but weight is the force exerted on an object's matter by gravity. [1] At the Earth 's surface, an object whose mass is exactly one kilogram weighs approximately 9.81 newtons , the product of its mass and the gravitational field ...

  4. Build to order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Build_to_order

    Build to Order (BTO: sometimes referred to as Make to Order or Made to Order (MTO)) is a production approach where products are not built until a confirmed order for products is received. Thus, the end consumer determines the time and number of produced products. [ 1 ]

  5. Lever rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_rule

    In chemistry, the lever rule is a formula used to determine the mole fraction (x i) or the mass fraction (w i) of each phase of a binary equilibrium phase diagram.It can be used to determine the fraction of liquid and solid phases for a given binary composition and temperature that is between the liquidus and solidus line.

  6. Elemental analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_analysis

    [citation needed] This information is important to help determine the structure of an unknown compound, as well as to help ascertain the structure and purity of a synthesized compound. In present-day organic chemistry, spectroscopic techniques ( NMR , both 1 H and 13 C), mass spectrometry and chromatographic procedures have replaced EA as the ...

  7. Mass (mass spectrometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_(mass_spectrometry)

    The accurate mass (more appropriately, the measured accurate mass [9]) is an experimentally determined mass that allows the elemental composition to be determined. [10] For molecules with mass below 200 Da , 5 ppm accuracy is often sufficient to uniquely determine the elemental composition.

  8. Gravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetric_analysis

    Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's mass in a mixture, as long as the relative ...

  9. Molar mass - Wikipedia

    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.
