1.00 amu = ?
1.00 amu = 1.66 x 10 to the -24 power grams
What does an atoms mass in amu tell you?
An atoms mass in amu tells you how many grams it takes to have one mole of those atoms
What does a molecule’s mass in amu tell you?
A molecule’s mass in amu tells you how many grams it takes to have one mole of those molecules
What does ‘mole’ mean?
6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power
