NCIt definition : A unit of relative amount of a substance that combines with or displaces 8.0 grams
of oxygen or 1.008 gram of hydrogen. The unit is usually expressed in grams and is
equal to the amount of substance that gains or loses one mole of electrons in a redox
reaction, or to the amount of substances that releases or accepts one mole of hydrogen
ions in a neutralization reaction; or to the amount of electrolyte that carries one
mole of positive or negative charge. This is a large unit and measurements are more
often done in its derivatives, e.g. in milliequivalents.;
