The formula to calculate the Energy (E) in Joules from Mass (m) in Amu is:
\[ E = m \times c^2 \]
Where:
Amu to Joules is a conversion from atomic mass units (amu) to Joules (J), which are units of energy. This conversion is often used in physics and chemistry to describe the energy of particles at the atomic or molecular level. The conversion factor is based on the principle of mass-energy equivalence, as stated in Einstein’s famous equation \(E=mc^2\), where \(E\) is energy, \(m\) is mass, and \(c\) is the speed of light.
Let's assume the following value for an example:
Using the formula:
\[ E = 1 \times (3.00 \times 10^8)^2 = 9.00 \times 10^{16} \, \text{J} \]
The Energy is \(9.00 \times 10^{16}\) Joules.
