Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (electronvolt) The electronvolt is a unit of mass used in particle physics. Mass and energy are related by Einstein's famous equation, E = mc2. The constant c is the speed of light, 299.79 x 10E6 m/sec. An energy of 1 electronvolt is therefore equivalent to a mass of about 1.782 662 x 10E-33 gram, or about 1.073 544 x 10E-9 atomic mass unit. Unit Definition (liang [China]) The liang is a traditional Chinese weight unit. During the European colonial period the liang was equal to 1/16 catty, 1/12 pound, or about 37.8 grams; this made it the same as a tael. In modern China, the liang equals 1/10 jin or 10 qian; this is exactly 50 grams (1.7637 ounces).
