gram-molecular weight

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | 2008 | The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright 2008 Columbia University Press. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

gram-molecular weight amount of a molecular substance whose weight, in grams, is numerically equal to the molecular weight of that substance. For example, one gram-molecular weight of molecular oxygen, O 2 (molecular weight approximately 32), is 32 grams, and one gram-molecular weight of water, H 2 O (molecular weight approximately 18) is 18 grams. The term mole is often used in place of gram-molecular weight. See gram-atomic weight .
