Units explained
Pound (troy/apothecary)
The troy (apothecary) pound equals 12 troy ounces, about 373.24 grams.
Named for Troyes, France, a major medieval trade-fair town.
Historical pricing of precious metals; now largely superseded by the troy ounce.
Adopted as the English coinage standard under Henry VIII in 1528.
Atomic Mass Unit
One unified atomic mass unit (u) is defined as 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, about 1.6605E-27 kg.
Introduced to give atomic and molecular masses convenient numerical values.
Atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics and chemistry.
The unified (carbon-12) scale was adopted by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.
