Some fundamental constants

Avogadro constant NA 6.022 1023 mol1
Volume of one mole of gas at a pressure of 100.0 kPa:
at 0C (273.2 K) 22.71 L mol1
at 25C (298.2 K) 24.79 L mol1

Conversion factors
0C = 273.2 K
1 litre = 1000 millilitres (mL) = 1000 cubic centimetres (cm3)
1 cubic metre (m3) = 1000 litres
1 tonne (t) = 1000 kg = 106 g

Some common prexes

giga 109 deci 101 micro 106
mega 106 centi 102 nano 109
kilo 103 milli 103 pico 1012
