What is a quintal (metric) [cwt] used for?

It is used primarily in trading agricultural commodities, reporting harvest yields, and weighing bulk shipments with quantities specified in 100-kilogram units.

What does the dalton measure?

The dalton is a unit used to express atomic and molecular masses, equivalent to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Why are dalton values so large when converting from quintals?

Because the dalton is an extremely small atomic mass unit, converting a large bulk unit like a quintal results in very large numbers.
