Relative masses are
comparitive masses, the carbon scale is used as the comarison
C12 is chosen

One mole=
6 x 10^23 number of particles
avogadros law
equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temp and pressure would contain the same # particles/molecules.
1 mole of gas at rtp occupies a volume of 24 dm^3
