Click "atomic mass" on the balance. This reading reports the mass of the particle in atomic mass units, or amu. Notice Carbon-12 weighs exactly 12.0000 amu. This is because Carbon-12 was used in defining the size of an amu. Officially, the atomic mass unit is defined at 1/12 the size of a Carbon-12 atom. This works out to mean a proton has mass equal to 1 amu. What is the mass of 1 neutron? Hint: Add a neutron to the atom. Watch how mass changes. O amu 1 amu 12 amu

Scientists in Huntsville just discovered a new element in Charger Village that they have called Pizzaium (Pz). There are two isotopes for this element. The first isotope has a mass of 546.7 amu and an abundance of 24.86%. The remainder of the element is accounted for by isotope 2 with a mass of 550. Given this information about the two isotopes, calculate the atomic mass for this element to four significant figures. If the last digit is a zero, Canvas will not take it, so leave it off.
