  • Atlantic Municipal Utilities (AMU) is located in Atlantic, Iowa and provides the city and surrounding rural area with electric and water service. The Atlantic community has enjoyed the benefits of a not-for-profit, locally owned utility since July 1890.
  • Gram or amu The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram. 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 gram, or 6.949E+26 amu. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results.

The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of the atoms of an element measured in atomic mass unit (amu, also known as daltons, D). The atomic mass is a weighted average of all of the isotopes of that element, in which the mass of each isotope is multiplied by the abundance of that particular isotope. (Atomic mass is also referred to as atomic weight, but the term 'mass' is more accurate.)

⇒ 1 amu/atom = 1 g/mol Therefore we just proved that an atomic mass unit is the same thing as grams per mole.

For instance, it can be determined experimentally that neon consists of three isotopes: neon-20 (with 10 protons and 10 neutrons in its nucleus) with a mass of 19.992 amu and an abundance of 90.48%, neon-21 (with 10 protons and 11 neutrons) with a mass of 20.994 amu and an abundance of 0.27%, and neon-22 (with 10 protons and 12 neutrons) with a mass of 21.991 amu and an abundance of 9.25%. The average atomic mass of neon is thus:

0.9048×19.992 amu=18.09 amu
0.0027×20.994 amu= 0.057 amu
0.0925×21.991 amu= 2.03 amu
20.18 amu

The atomic mass is useful in chemistry when it is paired with the mole concept: the atomic mass of an element, measured in amu, is the same as the mass in grams of one mole of an element. Thus, since the atomic mass of iron is 55.847 amu, one mole of iron atoms would weigh 55.847 grams. The same concept can be extended to ionic compounds and molecules. One formula unit of sodium chloride (NaCl) would weigh 58.44 amu (22.98977 amu for Na + 35.453 amu for Cl), so a mole of sodium chloride would weigh 58.44 grams. One molecule of water (H2O) would weigh 18.02 amu (2×1.00797 amu for H + 15.9994 amu for O), and a mole of water molecules would weigh 18.02 grams.

The original periodic table of the elements published by Dimitri Mendeleev in 1869 arranged the elements that were known at the time in order of increasing atomic weight, since this was prior to the discovery of the nucleus and the interior structure of the atom. The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing atomic number instead.

amu is the atomic mass unit which is equal to the one twelfth of the actual mass of the carbon atom. It is used for measuring the relative atomic masses of different atoms. For example mass of magnesium is 24u which means that it is 24 times heavier than the mass of one twelfth of the carbon atom.

Amu is a unit for the atomic mass unit which is realtaive mass of any atom with respect to 1/12 of the mass of C-12 atom.

The unified atomic mass unit (symbol: u) or dalton (symbol: Da) is the standardunit that is used for indicating mass on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass). It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state, and has a value of1.660538921(73)×10−27kg One dalton is approximately equal to the mass of onenucleon; an equivalence of saying 1 g mol−1.The CIPM have categorised it as a non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI, and whose value in SI units must be obtained experimentally

It is the atomic mass unit that is equal to the mass of 1/12th the mass of one carbon atom.
