Gram Atomic Mass
Gram Atomic Mass
Atomic Mass: According to Dalton’s, each element has a characteristic atomic mass. But determining the mass of an individual atom was a relatively difficult task due to its very small size. Hence, their relative atomic masses were determined using the laws of chemical combinations and the compounds formed. For this purpose, initially 1/16 of the mass of an atom of naturally occurring oxygen was taken as standard unit because of the following two reasons:
However in 1961, carbon (C- 12 isotope) was chosen as standard reference for measuring atomic masses universally because C-12 isotope of Carbon is the most abundant.
Gram atomic mass is the atomic weight on the periodic table of an element in grams. It is the mass of 1 mole of an element in grams, which is its moalr mass.
Examples of values expressed in Gram atomic mass :
Which of the following is correct ? (a) A hydrogen-1 atom has a mass of 1.007 u (or Da or amu) and its gram atomic mass is 1.007 grams. (b) A carbon-12 atom is defined as having a mass of 16 u and its gram atomic mass is 16 grams. | |||

8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
