Chapter 7, Problem 1CLE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The brief description of the relationships among atomic mass, molecular mass, formula mass, and molar mass is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Atomic mass unit is used to represent the atomic mass of an atom and molecular mass of a compound. An atomic mass unit, $\text{u}$, is mathematically given as the mass of the substance equal to $\frac{1}{12}$ times mass of a $\text{carbon-12}$ atom. The mass of any element can be calculated with respect to ${}^{12}\text{C}$.
