Avogadro's Number
Slide 5 / 157 Moles
Recall an atom's atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the atom.
C 6 12.01
Atomic Number
- r number of
protons (Z) Atomic Mass in amu
The unit for atomic mass is amu. Carbon-12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. One amu is equal to 1/12 the mass of carbon-12 or approximately the mass of one proton or neutron mass of 1 proton = 1 amu
Slide 6 / 157 Moles
What if you wanted to measure the mass of one atom in the laboratory? Would it be possible? A single atom has a very small mass. One carbon atom has a mass of about 2.0 x 10-23 grams.
