QUICK: what units is atomic mass in?

[dpopiz]

you know on the periodic table, where it says what the mass is of one mole of each element? what units are those in?

 

[Heisenberg]

atomic mass units

 

[jagec]

atomic mass units.

CURSE you Heisenberg!

1 amu is 1/12 the weight of carbon-12.

Actually, in the context of what the mass is for one mole of the element, the units are grams. AMUs are only for when you're talking about a single atom.

IIRC.

 

[simms]

amu

 

[Ikonomi]

The mass of one mole should be in grams, but of course it equates to AMU anyway.

Umm.. ATOMIC MASS != MASS OF A MOL

mass of a mol is g which is dependent on the molecular weight of the atom.

kilograms? a mole of carbon is one kilogram...

Um, one mol of carbon is 12 grams.

well thank you mr periodic table

i meant hydrogen 😱

 

[simms]

Hydrogen is 1 gram... I don't see how your moles add up to one kilo. 😛
