What does one dalton represent?

One dalton is a unit of mass corresponding to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, used mainly for atomic and molecular masses.

What is a carat used for?

A carat is a unit of mass primarily used for weighing gemstones and pearls, defined exactly as 200 milligrams.

Why are conversions between daltons and carats important?

These conversions help relate scientific mass measurements at the atomic level to the gemstone and pearl weights used in jewelry and gemology.
