Molecular weight2. Molal massMolecular mass is the mass per mole of a mole is defined as (1023) particles. This is called Avogadro s number.

10 It isalso the number of atoms in a gram atom. For carbon 12, the molecular mass is 12 kg/kgmole = 12 g/gmole = 12 lbm/lbmole. Themole is defined in such a way that one kgmole of a substance contains the same numberof molecules as 12 kg of carbon 12. Likewise, one lbmole contains the same number ofmolecules as 12 lbm of carbon BVariation of the SPEED of SOUND in the Atmosphere with AltitudeThe pressure, temperature, density and SPEED of SOUND for the international standardatmosphere (ISA) can be calculated for a range of altitudes from sea level upward.
