physical chemistry - What is the mass of 1 atom of carbon?


I know that relative atomic mass of X12X2122C is 12 u.


Therefore mass of 1 mol C=12 g mass of 6.0221023 C atoms=12 gmass of 1 C atom=12 g6.0221023=1.991023 g,


but


1 u=1.661024 gMass of 1 X12X2122C atom=1.66121024 g=19.921024 g=1.9921023 g.


Which is correct?


Also what is dimension formula of relative atomic mass, molar mass?



Why is unit of molar mass grammole and not just gram Since when has this mol become a unit? It's just a number.



Answer



Both approaches are correct.


Avogadro's number is 6.02214129×1023 and represents the number of carbon-12 atoms in 12 grams of unbound carbon-12 in the ground electronic state.


12grams/6.02214129×1023=1.9926467×1023grams


The unified atomic mass unit (u) is 1.660538921×1024 grams


12×1.660538921×1024 grams =1.9926467×1023grams
