In the current and internationally accepted SI system, the basic unit of mass is the kilogram. The unit of force,

a derived quanity, is the newton. One newton is the force with which one body pulls another body (of mass 1kg) towards itself with a acleration of 1 meter per seconds squared.

In the English system, the basic unit of mass is called a pound, or more

properly pound-mass, since a pound is also the derived unit of weight. A pound

of force is the amount required to accelerate 1 pound of mass (called a slug)

at the rate of 32 feet per second per second.

What is the molecular weight of a compound in daltons and how does it convert to grams per mole (g/mol)?

The molecular weight of a compound is measured in daltons, which is a unit of mass used for atoms and molecules. To convert daltons to grams per mole (g/mol), you can use the conversion factor 1 dalton 1 g/mol. This means that the molecular weight in daltons is equal to the molecular weight in grams per mole.
