What is the UK hundredweight unit?

It is an imperial mass unit equal to 112 avoirdupois pounds or about 50.802 kilograms, used mainly in the UK and some Commonwealth countries for bulk mass.

What does the dalton measure?

The dalton is an atomic mass unit approximately equal to one twelfth of a carbon-12 atom's mass, commonly used to express atomic and molecular masses.

Why convert from hundredweight (UK) to dalton?

This conversion helps translate large-scale bulk masses into atomic scale units useful for scientific calculations in chemistry, biochemistry, and related fields.
