  2. Mole (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The SI value of the mole was chosen on the basis of the historical definition of the mole as the amount of substance that corresponds to the number of atoms in 12 grams of 12 C, [1] which made the mass of a mole of a compound expressed in grams, numerically equal to the average molecular mass or formula mass of the compound expressed in daltons.

  3. Katal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katal

    The katal (symbol: kat) is that catalytic activity that will raise the rate of conversion by one mole per second in a specified assay system. [1] It is a unit of the International System of Units (SI) [1] used for quantifying the catalytic activity of enzymes (that is, measuring the enzymatic activity level in enzyme catalysis) and other catalysts.

  4. 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 ...

  5. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    "The mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit of amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 elementary entities. This number is the fixed numerical value of the Avogadro constant, N A, when expressed in the unit mol −1 and is called the Avogadro number.

    "1. The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon 12; its symbol is 'mol'. 2. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_revision_of_the_SI

    2019 definition: The kelvin, symbol K, is the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to be 1.380 649 × 10 −23 when expressed in the unit J⋅K −1 , which is equal to kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2 ⋅K −1 , where the kilogram, metre and second are defined in terms of h , c ...

  8. 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.

    No standard symbols are used for the following quantities, as specifically applied to a substance: the mass of a substance m, the number of moles of the substance n, partial pressure of a gas in a gaseous mixture p (or P), some form of energy of a substance (for chemistry enthalpy H is common), entropy of a substance S
