Relative Atomic Mass of Element Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Relative Atomic Mass of an Element = Mass of an Atom/((1/12)*Mass of Carbon-12 atom)
Ar = Melement/((1/12)*MC-12)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Relative Atomic Mass of an Element - Relative Atomic Mass of an Element is defined as the ratio of the avg. mass of atom of specific composition to the 1/12th of the mass of atom of nuclide C-12.
Mass of an Atom - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of an Atom is defined as the average mass per atom of a specific composition of an element.
Mass of Carbon-12 atom - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Carbon-12 atom is defined as the mass of the atom of the Carbon-12 isotope.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Mass of an Atom: 15.99903 Gram --> 0.01599903 Kilogram (Check conversion ​here)
Mass of Carbon-12 atom: 12.0116 Gram --> 0.0120116 Kilogram (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Ar = Melement/((1/12)*MC-12) --> 0.01599903/((1/12)*0.0120116)
Evaluating ... ...
Ar = 15.9835792067668
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
15.9835792067668 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
15.9835792067668 15.98358 <-- Relative Atomic Mass of an Element
(Calculation completed in 00.006 seconds)

Relative Atomic Mass of an Element = Mass of an Atom/((1/12)*Mass of Carbon-12 atom)
Ar = Melement/((1/12)*MC-12)

Why do we need to find the Relative Atomic Mass of an Element?

In order to perform accurate chemical calculations, relative atomic mass must be used rather than an individual mass number.
As a result, relative atomic mass takes into account all of the naturally occurring stable isotopes of an element.

What is the unit of Relative Atomic Mass?

As it is a ratio, relative atomic mass is a unitless quantity and is expressed as AMU, where,
1 amu= 1/12 th the mass of a Carbon-12 isotope.

How to Calculate Relative Atomic Mass of Element?

Relative Atomic Mass of Element calculator uses Relative Atomic Mass of an Element = Mass of an Atom/((1/12)*Mass of Carbon-12 atom) to calculate the Relative Atomic Mass of an Element, The Relative Atomic Mass of Element formula is defined as the ratio of the average mass per atom of specified composition of an element to 1/12 the mass of an atom of the nuclide carbon-12. Relative Atomic Mass of an Element is denoted by Ar symbol.

How to calculate Relative Atomic Mass of Element using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Atomic Mass of Element, enter Mass of an Atom (Melement) & Mass of Carbon-12 atom (MC-12) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Atomic Mass of Element calculation can be explained with given input values -> 15.98358 = 0.01599903/((1/12)*0.0120116).

FAQ

What is Relative Atomic Mass of Element?
The Relative Atomic Mass of Element formula is defined as the ratio of the average mass per atom of specified composition of an element to 1/12 the mass of an atom of the nuclide carbon-12 and is represented as Ar = Melement/((1/12)*MC-12) or Relative Atomic Mass of an Element = Mass of an Atom/((1/12)*Mass of Carbon-12 atom). Mass of an Atom is defined as the average mass per atom of a specific composition of an element & Mass of Carbon-12 atom is defined as the mass of the atom of the Carbon-12 isotope.
How to calculate Relative Atomic Mass of Element?
