Energy is defined via work, so the SI unit of energy is the same as the unit of work – the joule (J), named in honour of James Prescott Joule [1] and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre and, in terms of SI base units
Aluminium chloride, also known as aluminium trichloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula AlCl 3.It forms a hexahydrate with the formula [Al(H 2 O) 6]Cl 3, containing six water molecules of hydration.
The CGS energy unit is the erg and the imperial and US customary unit is the foot pound. Other energy units such as the electronvolt, food calorie or thermodynamic kcal (based on the temperature change of water in a heating process), and BTU are used in specific areas of science and commerce.
Energy per unit temperature change J/K L 2 M T −2 Θ −1: extensive Heat flux density: ϕ Q: Heat flow per unit time per unit surface area W/m 2: M T −3: Illuminance: E v: Wavelength-weighted luminous flux per unit surface area lux (lx = cd⋅sr/m 2) L −2 J: Impedance: Z: Resistance to an alternating current of a given frequency ...
The first molar ionization energy applies to the neutral atoms. The second, third, etc., molar ionization energy applies to the further removal of an electron from a singly, doubly, etc., charged ion. For ionization energies measured in the unit eV, see Ionization energies of the elements (data page). All data from rutherfordium onwards is ...
List of orders of magnitude for energy; Factor (joules) SI prefix Value Item 10 −34: 6.626 × 10 −34 J: Energy of a photon with a frequency of 1 hertz. [1]8 × 10 −34 J: Average kinetic energy of translational motion of a molecule at the lowest temperature reached (38 picokelvin [2] as of 2021)
Gigaton – Metric Unit of mass, equal to 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) metric tons, 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) kilograms Any of various units of energy, such as gigatons of TNT equivalent, gigatons of coal equivalent, gigatons petroleum equivalent. Gray (unit) – (symbol: Gy), is the SI unit of energy for the absorbed dose of radiation. One ...
Specific energy or massic energy is energy per unit mass. It is also sometimes called gravimetric energy density , which is not to be confused with energy density , which is defined as energy per unit volume.
