  2. Mole (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    Because a dalton, a unit commonly used to measure atomic mass, is exactly 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, this definition of the mole entailed that the mass of one mole of a compound or element in grams was numerically equal to the average mass of one molecule or atom of the substance in daltons, and that the number of daltons in a gram ...

  3. Avogadro constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant

    The Avogadro constant, commonly denoted N A [1] or L, [2] is an SI defining constant with an exact value of 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 mol1 (reciprocal moles). [3] [4] It is this defined number of constituent particles (usually molecules, atoms, ions, or ion pairs—in general, entities) per mole and used as a normalization factor in relating the amount of substance, n(X), in a sample of a ...

  4. Silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon

    The poor overlap of 3p orbitals also results in a much lower tendency toward catenation (formation of SiSi bonds) for silicon than for carbon, due to the concomitant weakening of the SiSi bond compared to the C–C bond: [63] the average SiSi bond energy is approximately 226 kJ/mol, compared to a value of 356 kJ/mol for the C–C bond ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Alternative approaches to redefining the kilogram - Wikipedia

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

    The number of atoms in a mole, a quantity known as the Avogadro constant, is experimentally determined, and the current best estimate of its value is 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 entities per mole. [18] This new definition of the kilogram proposed to fix the Avogadro constant at precisely 6.022 14 X × 10 23 mol1 with the kilogram being defined as ...

  7. Carbon fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fibers

    Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are fibers about 5 to 10 micrometers (0.00020–0.00039 in) in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. [1] Carbon fibers have several advantages: high stiffness, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high ...

  8. Molar mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass

    Thus, for example, the molar mass of iron is about 55.845 g/mol. Since 1971, SI defined the "amount of substance" as a separate dimension of measurement. Until 2019, the mole was defined as the amount of substance that has as many constituent particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. During that period, the molar mass of carbon-12 ...

  9. Table of specific heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

    For example, Paraffin has very large molecules and thus a high heat capacity per mole, but as a substance it does not have remarkable heat capacity in terms of volume, mass, or atom-mol (which is just 1.41 R per mole of atoms, or less than half of most solids, in terms of heat capacity per atom).
