Chapter 2, Problem 71E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The atomic mass of oxygen based on the assignment of a mass of $12.000\text{g}$ to $1\text{mol}$ of carbon, rather than one mole of ${}^{12}\text{C}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The atomic masses of elements are based on the assignment of one mole of ${}^{12}\text{C}$ .

To determine: The atomic mass of oxygen based on the assignment of a mass of $12.000\text{g}$ to $1\text{mol}$ of carbon, rather than one mole of ${}^{12}\text{C}$ .
