This chain of dependency follows to many other SI units of measure. For instance, the joule, the SI unit of energy, is defined as that expended when a force of one newton acts through one metre. Next to be affected is the SI unit of power, the watt, which is one joule per second. N = kg m/s 2; Pa = N/m 2 = kg/(m s) J = N m = kg m 2 /s 2; W = J ...
For example, in the reaction CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O, the stoichiometric number of CH 4 is −1, the stoichiometric number of O 2 is −2, for CO 2 it would be +1 and for H 2 O it is +2. In more technically precise terms, the stoichiometric number in a chemical reaction system of the i-th component is defined as
For example, 50 g of zinc will react with oxygen to produce 62.24 g of zinc oxide, implying that the zinc has reacted with 12.24 g of oxygen (from the Law of conservation of mass): the equivalent weight of zinc is the mass which will react with eight grams of oxygen, hence 50 g × 8 g/12.24 g = 32.7 g.
Besides the simple oxide CaO, calcium peroxide, CaO 2, can be made by direct oxidation of calcium metal under a high pressure of oxygen, and there is some evidence for a yellow superoxide Ca(O 2) 2. [16] Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2, is a strong base, though not as strong as the hydroxides of strontium, barium or the alkali metals. [17]
For example, FeSO 4 is named iron(2+) sulfate (with the 2+ charge on the Fe 2+ ions balancing the 2− charge on the sulfate ion), whereas Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 is named iron(3+) sulfate (because the two iron ions in each formula unit each have a charge of 3+, to balance the 2− on each of the three sulfate ions).

If your scale says your weight went up overnight, you might wonder: Can you gain weight in one day? Experts give 11 reasons you seemed to gain weight overnight.
Oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen are the most abundant elements in the body by weight and make up about 96% of the weight of a human body. Calcium makes up 920 to 1200 grams of adult body weight, with 99% of it contained in bones and teeth. This is about 1.5% of body weight. [2] Phosphorus occurs in amounts of about 2/3 of calcium, and ...
