Sorry, but what is Dalton unit?
Thanks

same as g/mol, but used with e.g. proteins for some reason.

An example please?

it is an unit of molecular weight.
For example MW of acetonitrile (CH3CN)is 41,05 g/mol=41,05 Dalton. In another words the weight of 6,022E23 acetonitrile molecules is 41,05 grams.

see
http://www.bact.wisc.edu/microtextbook/definitions.html
"A dalton (or atomic mass unit) is a unit of measure for atoms. The dalton is formally defined as 1/12 the weight of a carbon atom and is roughly equal to the weight of one proton. One dalton weighs 1.066 x 10 -24 grams. It is a convenient way of representing the weight of atoms and molecules."

Last anonymous: Donīt believe everything you see in the internet, the definitions above yours are what is seen in the literature.

OK.
If we are talking about a molecule of 40000 Daltons, that it means that MW is 40000?

Yes.
