Atomic Mass

How heavy is an atom of oxygen?

There are different kinds of oxygen atoms.

More concerned with average atomic mass.

Based on abundance of each element in nature.

Don’t use grams because the numbers would be too small.

Slide 54

Measuring Atomic Mass

Unit is the Atomic Mass Unit (amu)

One twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

6 p+ and 6 n0

Each isotope has its own atomic mass

we get the average using percent abundance.

Slide 55

Calculating averages

You have five rocks, four with a mass of 50 g, and one with a mass of 60 g. What is the average mass of the rocks?

Total mass = 4 x 50 + 1 x 60 = 260 g

Average mass = 4 x 50 + 1 x 60 = 260 g 5 5

Average mass = 4 x 50 + 1 x 60 = 260 g 5 5 5

Slide 56

Calculating averages

Average mass = 4 x 50 + 1 x 60 = 260 g 5 5 5

Average mass = .8 x 50 + .2 x 60

80% of the rocks were 50 grams

20% of the rocks were 60 grams

Average = % as decimal x mass + % as decimal x mass + % as decimal x mass +

Slide 57

Atomic Mass

Calculate the atomic mass of copper if copper has two isotopes. 69.1% has a mass of 62.93 amu and the rest has a mass of 64.93 amu.
