equation 7=293 K may equally be written TIK = 293. It is often convenient to
‘write the quotient of a quantity and a unit in this way for the heading of a column ina
table, so that the entries in the table are all simply numbers, For example, a table of
‘vapour pressure against temperature, and the natural logarithm of vapour pressure
against reciprocal temperature, may be formatted as shown below.
