  2. Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

    Pure water has a charge carrier density similar to semiconductors [12] [page needed] since it has a low autoionization, K w = 1.0×10 −14 at room temperature and thus pure water conducts current poorly, 0.055 μS/cm. [13] Unless a large potential is applied to increase the autoionization of water, electrolysis of pure water proceeds slowly ...

  3. Cup (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...

    Typical size of a fog, mist, or cloud water droplet 10 μm Width of transistors in the Intel 4004, the world's first commercial microprocessor: 12 μm Width of acrylic fiber: 17-181 μm Width range of human hair [25] 10 −4: 100 μm: 340 μm Size of a pixel on a 17-inch monitor with a resolution of 1024×768 560 μm

  5. List of rivers by discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_discharge

    This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric.

  6. Distilled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water

    By compressing the steam produced by boiling water, 175 US gal (660 L; 146 imp gal) of fresh water could be extracted from seawater for every gallon (3.8 L; 0.83 imp gal) of fuel used. During World War II this equipment became standard on Allied ships and on trailer mounts for armies.

  7. Barrel of oil equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_of_oil_equivalent

    Since this is a measurement of mass, any conversion to barrels of oil equivalent depends on the density of the oil in question, as well as the energy content. Typically 1 tonne of oil has a volume of 1.08 to 1.19 cubic metres (6.8 to 7.5 bbl).

  8. Bottled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottled_water

    Small pack facilities (facilities that package water in containers between 8 oz. and 2.5 gallons) use the least amount of water (1.26 L per 1 L), followed by mixed packaging facilities (1.46 L per 1 L). Facilities that package water for home and office delivery in sizes of 2.5 gallons to 5 gallons use the most water (1.56 L per 1 L). [32]

  9. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    As of 2006, the most precise measurement of R had been obtained by measuring the speed of sound c a (P, T) in argon at the temperature T of the triple point of water at different pressures P, and extrapolating to the zero-pressure limit c a (0, T). The value of R is then obtained from the relation:
