    In the above equation, T F is the normal freezing point of the pure solvent (273 K for water, for example); a liq is the activity of the solvent in the solution (water activity for aqueous solution); ΔH fus T F is the enthalpy change of fusion of the pure solvent at T F, which is 333.6 J/g for water at 273 K; ΔC fus p is the difference ...

  6. Moment (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    A moment (momentum) is a medieval unit of time. The movement of a shadow on a sundial covered 40 moments in a solar hour , a twelfth of the period between sunrise and sunset . The length of a solar hour depended on the length of the day, which, in turn, varied with the season . [ 1 ]

  7. Method of moments (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_moments_(statistics)

    In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters.The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of the parameters of interest.

    Examples of 'sliding doors moments' being used in modern vernacular include: Princess Diana's last-minute decision to visit Paris on 30 August 1997, leading to her death after leaving her hotel. [3] In relation to the fate of the Australian Labor Party ahead of the July 2018 Australian federal by-elections (colloquially known as "Super Saturday").

  9. Bohr–Sommerfeld model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Sommerfeld_model

    The Sommerfeld model predicted that the magnetic moment of an atom measured along an axis will only take on discrete values, a result which seems to contradict rotational invariance but which was confirmed by the Stern–Gerlach experiment. This was a significant step in the development of quantum mechanics.
