Atomic Mass
Atomic mass is the
• Mass of a single atom in
atomic mass units (amu)
• Mass of an atom
compared to a 12C atom
• Number below the
symbol of an element
2
Periodic Table and Atomic Mass
Ag has
atomic
mass =
107.9 amu
S has atomic
mass =
32.07 amu
C has atomic mass
= 12.01 amu
3
Atomic Mass Factors
The atomic mass,
• Can be written as an equality
Example: 1 P atom = 30.97 amu
• Can be written as two conversion factors
Example:
1 P atom
and
30.97 amu
30.97 amu
1 P atom
4
Uses of Atomic Mass Factors
The atomic mass is used to convert:
• A specific number of atoms to mass (amu)
• An amount in amu to number of atoms
5
Using Atomic Mass Factors
1. What is the mass in amu of 75 P atoms?
75 P atoms x 30.97 amu = 2323 amu (2.323 x103 amu)
1 P atom
2. How many Cu atoms have a mass of 4.500 x 105
amu?
4.500 x 105 amu x 1 Cu atom = 7081 Cu atoms
63.55 amu

Solution
What is the mass in amu of 75 silver atoms?
2) 8093 amu
75 Ag atoms x
107.9 amu
1 Ag atom
= 8093 amu

Solution
How many gold atoms have a mass of 1.85 x 105 amu?
1) 939 Au atoms
1.85 x 105 amu x
1 Au atom
197.0 amu
= 939 Au atoms

Formula Mass
The formula mass is
• The mass in amu
of a compound
• The sum of the
atomic masses of
the elements in a
formula
11
Calculating Formula Mass
To calculate formula mass of Na2SO4,
• Multiply the atomic mass of each element by its
subscript
• Total the masses
2 Na x 22.99 amu = 45.98 amu
1 Na
1 S x 32.07 amu = 32.07 amu
1S
4 O x 16.00 amu = 64.00 amu
1O
Formula mass
Na2SO4
142.05 amu

Learning Check
Using the periodic table, calculate the formula mass of
aluminum sulfide Al2S3.
13
Solution
Using the periodic table, calculate the formula mass of
aluminum sulfide Al2S3.
2 Al x 26.98 amu = 53.96 amu
1 Al
3 S x 32.07 amu = 96.21 amu
1S
150.17 amu
