Chapter 2, Problem 2.34QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If the $\text{amu}$ were based on sodium-23 with a mass equal to exactly 1/23 of the mass of sodium-23 atom, will there be mass of $\text{amu}$ be different has to be identified.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If new mass of $\text{amu}$ based on sodium-23 is $\text{1}{\text{.67 × 10}}^{\text{-27}}\text{ kg}$, how would the mass of hydrogen atom, in $\text{amu}$, and the current mass of a hydrogen atom in $\text{amu}$ has to be compared.
