Average Atomic Mass
Atomic massis the mass of an atom in atomic mass units (amu). 1 amu = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
The average atomic masson the periodic table represents the average mass of the
naturally occurring mixture of isotopes.
Average mass (C) = (0.9893)(12.00000 amu) + (0.0107)(13.003355 amu)
Isotope Isotopic mass (amu) abundance (%) Natural

Oxygen is the most abundant element in both Earth’s crust and the human body. The atomic masses of its three stable isotopes, O (99.757 percent), O (0.038 percent), O (0.205 percent), are 15.9949, 16.9991, and 17.9992 amu, respectively. Calculate the average atomic mass of oxygen using the relative abundances given in parentheses.
Calculating the Average Mass of an Element
Solution
(0.99757)(15.9949 amu) + (0.00038)(16.9991 amu) + (0.00205)(17.992 amu) = 15.9994 amu

Think About It The average atomic mass should be closest to the atomic mass of the most abundant isotope (in this case, oxygen-16) and, to four significant figures, should be the same number that appears in the periodic table on the inside front cover of your textbook (in this case, 16.00 amu).
Strategy Each isotope contributes to the average atomic mass based on its relative abundance. Multiplying the mass of each isotope by its fractional abundance (percent value divided by 100) will give its contribution to the average atomic mass.
What is a Mole?
2 H2(g) + O2(g) 2 H2O(g)
We can multiply a balanced equation by any # and still
have a balanced equation.
2(pair) H2(g) + 1 (pair) O2(g) 2(pair) H2O(g)
2(dozen) H2(g) + 1 (dozen) O2(g) 2(dozen) H2O(g)
2(mole) H2(g) + 1 (mole) O2(g) 2(mole) H2O(g)
A mole is 6.02 x 1023things. This # is called Avogadro’s #.
Avogadro’s # is a collective noun used to count things (just like a dozen or a pair).
Mole: the amount of substance that contains as many particles as exactly 12 g of C; 6.02 x 1023things.

Atomic-Molecular Scale and the Real World
The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance in grams; numerically equal to the atomic or molecular mass.
1 u = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom 1 u = 1 g/mol
Atomic weight of carbon = 12.01 u = 12.01 g/mol
Therefore, 1 mole of carbon atoms weighs 12.01 g.
Molecular weight of CaCO3 = 100.09 u =100.09 g/mol
1 mole of CaCO3 weighs 100.09 g.
For a Compound, the Molar Mass is the
Sum of the Molar Masses of the Elements
