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.
Units Within the Metric System. The metric system is the most widely used system of measurement in the world. It is a more universal measurement standard as compared to the customary system used in the United States. The three basic units of the metric system are the meter, gram, and liter: The gram measures weight. The meter measures length. The liter measures capacity.
