In early tests with the ligand 2-(2-Thiazolylazo)-p-cresol (TAC), we found that interference of the Fe(TAC) 1 complex may have competed with Fe(TAC) 2 for Fe. Also, i pmax was not reached in UV treated seawater after overnight equilibration ([TAC] = 40 Î¼ m, Î± Fe 3 + (TAC) 2 = 3.6 Ã 10 13).
BASE UNIT - kilogram (kg) - MASS. The standard for the kilogram is a cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy kept by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris. A duplicate at the National Bureau of Standards serves as the mass standard for the United States.
Metric System: The metric system is an internationally agreed decimal system of measurement created in France in 1799. The International System of Units (SI), the official system of measurement in almost every country in the world, is based upon the metric system. In the metric system, each basic type of measurement (length, weight, capacity) has one basic unit of measure (meter, gram, liter). Conversions are quickly made by multiplying or dividing by factors of 10. It is as simple as moving the decimal point to the right (for smaller prefixes) or to the left (for larger prefixes).
