Mass, moles, and density units
Units that support prefixes are shown in bold.
| Unit Name, System | Units Students Enter | Infix You Code | Notes |
|
gram SI |
g | g | |
|
kilogram SI |
kg | kg | |
|
mass SI |
MeV*c^(-2) | MeV*c^(-2) | |
|
mass per unit area SI |
kg*m^(-2) |
kg*m^(-2) | |
|
mass per unit length SI |
kg*m^(-1) | kg*m^(-1) | |
|
mass/volume SI |
kg*L^(-1) g*cm^(-3) g*mL^(-1) kg*m^(-3) |
kg*L^(-1) g*cm^(-3) g*mL^(-1) kg*m^(-3) |
|
|
molar mass SI |
g*mol^(-1) | g*mol^(-1) | |
|
molar volume SI |
cm^3*mol^(-1) | cm^3*mol^(-1) | |
|
mole SI |
mol mole moles |
mol |
For student input, mol, mole, and moles are considered acceptable alternate spellings, but you should code answers using the infix mol. |
|
slug US |
slug |
slug |
|
|
solar mass SI |
M_Sun M_sun |
M_Sun | M_Sun and M_sun are valid student entries for solar mass. However, code answers using the infix M_Sun. |
|
unified atomic mass unit SI |
u amu |
u amu |
u and Da are the official NIST standards but amu is commonly used in our books. Only use u when coding infix answers. |
|
unified atomic mass unit (dalton) SI |
Da | Da |
