  2. 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 ...

  3. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    The g-force acting on a stationary object resting on the Earth's surface is 1 g (upwards) and results from the resisting reaction of the Earth's surface bearing upwards equal to an acceleration of 1 g, and is equal and opposite to gravity. The number 1 is approximate, depending on location. The g-force acting on an object in any weightless ...

    The "trading" measure could be one sixteenth larger than the "legal" boll, and the "customary" boll a further one sixteenth larger. [ 13 ] : 270–271 Weight equivalents of one boll are given in a trade dictionary of 1863 as follows: Flour 140 pounds; Peas or beans 280 pounds; Oats 264 pounds; Barley 320 pounds; Oatmeal 140 pounds.

  5. Joule per mole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_per_mole

    Since 1 mole = 6.02214076 × 10 23 particles (atoms, molecules, ions etc.), 1 joule per mole is equal to 1 joule divided by 6.02214076 × 10 23 particles, ≈1.660539 × 10 −24 joule per particle. This very small amount of energy is often expressed in terms of an even larger unit such as the kJ·mol −1 , because of the typical order of ...

  6. Angstrom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

    It was only in 1960, when the metre was redefined in the same way, that the angstrom became again equal to 10 −10 metre. Yet the angstrom was never part of the SI system of units, [ 13 ] [ 14 ] and has been increasingly replaced by the nanometre ( 10 −9 m) or picometre ( 10 −12 m).

  7. Maize - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize

    The difference between the two is largely controlled by differences in just two genes, called grassy tillers-1 (gt1) and teosinte branched-1 (tb1 64] In the late 1930s, Paul Mangelsdorf suggested that domesticated maize was the result of a hybridization event between an unknown wild maize and a species of Tripsacum , a related genus; this has ...

    Ofloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. [1] When taken by mouth or injection into a vein, these include pneumonia, cellulitis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, plague, and certain types of infectious diarrhea.
