What does gram-atom mean?
- Gram-atom
- The number of grams of an element equal numerically to the atomic weight, as 16 grams of oxygen, 1 gram of hydrogen, 35.5 grams of chlorine; all which might be expressed as gram-atoms of oxygen, hydrogen and chlorine respectively.
The gram-atom approximately expresses the number of gram-calories required to heat one gram of the substance 1º C. (1.8º F.). This is in virtue of Dulong and Petit's discovery that the atomic weight of an element multiplied by its specific heat gives approximately a constant for all elements.
[Transcriber's note: A gram-atom is the mass, in grams, of one mole of atoms in a monatomic element. A mole consists of Avogadro's number of atoms, approximately 6.02214E23.]
