E. Chemical FormulaeF. Chemical Equations
What is the mass of an atom?Since an atom is very small, there is no machine in the world that can weigh it.Therefore, to determine the mass of an atom, scientists compare the mass of one atom of the element to the mass of one atom of carbon-12
Relative Atomic Mass (RAM) of an
element???Average mass of one atom of the element when
compared with 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Relative Atomic Mass (RAM) of an
element???= The average mass of one atom of the
element1/12 x the mass of an atom of carbon-
12
Relative Molecular Mass (RMM) of a molecule???
Average mass the molecule when compared with 1/12 of
the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Relative Molecular Mass (RMM) of a molecule???
= The average mass of the molecule
1/12 x the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Why do we compare with carbon-12?(why is carbon-12 used as standard?)•It is solid•It is easily handled•It is used as a reference standard in the mass spectrometer
