Units explained
Carbon-12 Atom Mass
The mass of a single carbon-12 atom is exactly 12 u by definition, about 1.9926E-26 kg.
The reference nuclide that defines the unified atomic mass scale.
The defining standard for the atomic mass unit.
Chosen as the mass standard by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.
Ounce
The (avoirdupois) ounce (oz) equals one-sixteenth of a pound, about 28.35 grams.
From Latin 'uncia', meaning a twelfth part.
US food portions, postal weights, and boxing weight classes.
Standardized as 1/16 of the international pound from 1959.
