Molecular weight

Molecular Weight: The amount of mass in one mole of molecules of a substance as determined by summing the masses of the individual atoms which make up the molecule.

molecular weight : The molecular weight of a compound in grams is the sum of the atomic weights of the elements in the compound. The molecular weight of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in grams is 98.

molecular weight of a compound dissolved in enough water to make one liter of solution. A gram molecular weight is the molecular weight of a compound in grains. For ex- ...

Molecular weight = 106.40 g/mol. Particulate Matter Particulate matter, or PM, is the term for particles found in the air, including dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets. Particles can be suspended in the air for long periods of time.

Man-made polyelectrolytes consist of simple substances that have been made into complex substances of high molecular weight.

Hydrogen Peroxide - H2O2, this compounds molecular weight is 34.02g/mol; it is a colorless, rather unstable oxidant with a bitter taste and caustic to the skin. Hydrogen peroxide will decompose, liberating oxygen.

Chief among them is their low entropy of mixing, which is due to the high molecular weight of large polymer chains.

Complex nitrogenous organic compounds of high molecular weight made of amino acids; essential for growth and repair of animal tissue. Many, but not all, proteins are enzymes.

A compound with the same atomic composition and molecular weight as another compound but differing in molecular structure and chemical or physical properties. For example, graphite (pencil lead) and diamond are isomers of carbon.

Proteins: Complex nitrogenous organic compounds of high molecular weight that contain amino acids as their basic unit arid are essential for growth and repair of animal tissue. Many proteins are enzymes.

Polymer: Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule.

Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular weight, and may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce costs.
