Mass of Atoms Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Mass of Atoms is:

$M = a \times am$

Where:

$M$ is the Mass in grams
$a$ is the Total Number of Atoms
$am$ is the Average Atomic Mass in Amu

Mass of Atoms Definition

A mass of atoms is defined as the total mass of a group of 1 or more atoms. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of atoms by the average atomic mass of the atoms. The average atomic mass is typically given in atomic mass units (Amu), which can be converted to grams for practical purposes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Atoms (a) = $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ (Avogadro's number, representing one mole of atoms)
Average Atomic Mass (am) = 12 (carbon atom, approximately)

Using the formula:

$M = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 12 \times 1.66053906660 \times 10^{-24} \approx 12 \text{ grams}$

The Mass of Atoms is approximately 12 grams.
