(Any unit of energy) divided by (any unit of time) is a unit of power.

The most familiar one is the metric (SI) unit, 1 joule per second, known as 1 'Watt', written W

after James Watt the Scottish inventor who did important work and investigations into steam "power".

How many linear feet is 400 square feet?

(Assuming your question is serious) Unfortunately, this question has no real answer. Linear feet is a measure of distance along a single dimension. If you use a tape measure to measure along one wall of your living room, for example, you might measure 20 linear feet. In contrast, square feet is a measure of AREA, and represents a quantity defined by TWO dimensions. If you used a tape measure to measure TWO perpendicular walls of your living room, and if each wall were 20 feet long, the AREA in your living room would be 400 square feet. Your question supposes that linear feet is comparable to square feet. It isn't comparable. It is like asking how many apples are in a basket of oranges? You can't directly compare the two. There are numerous measures of linear distance that can be compared: angstoms, nanometers, microns, millimeters, inches, meters, yards, fathoms, miles, kilometers, light-years, etc. Any of the above linear units may be converted with a little bit of effort and the use of conversion factors you can look up on the web. Similarly, there are many units of area that can be compared: square feet, square inches, square meters, square yard, acres, hectares, square miles, etc. Any of the units of area can be compared with appropriate conversion factors. But you can't convert linear dimensions to area dimensions. They measure different kinds of things.

What is a concentration of hydrogen protons in a solution?

In neutral water 10-7 mol/l or 10-7 mol/dm3 if you prefer those units of measure. the solution may not be neutral (i.e be acidic or basic) in which case the concentration woul be higher or lower.
