1 Atomic mass unit is the mass of an atom or it caliberates mass on atomic scale. It is also expressed in dalton denoted by Da whereas Atomic mass unit is denoted by amu.

1 amu can be expressed in grams as follows:

$1 amu = 1.6 * 10^-2^4 g$

$Mass of Te = 127.6 amu$

For converting in grams,

$M = (127.6 ) * 1.6 * 10^-2^4 g$

$M = 204.16 * 10^-2^4 g$

Thus, mass of Te is 204.16 * 10^-2^4 g

The mass, in grams, of a single tellurium atom = 2,118. 10⁻²² grams

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Inside the atom consists of a nucleus containing 3 elementary particles, namely protons and neutrons, while electrons move around the nucleus.

Protons are positively charged (+1), electrons are negatively charged (-1). and neutrons are uncharged (neutral)

While the mass of 1 proton is equal to the mass of 1 neutron, equal to 1 amu and the electron has a mass smaller than both.

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu

So the atomic mass obtained is the mass of the atom relative to the 12th carbon atom

An atomic mass unit = amu is a relative atomic mass of 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

The 'amu' unit has now been replaced with a unit of 'u' only

The hydrogen atom is the lightest atom whose mass is 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg (measured using a mass spectrometer) and simplified to 1 amu (atomic mass unit).

1 amu = 1,66.10⁻²⁴ grams

For example the C-12 carbon atomic mass is 12 amu, C-13 is 13 amu

Single tellurium atoms have = 127.60 amu

So that the mass is in grams:

mass = 127.60 amu x 1.66.10⁻²⁴

mass = 2,118. 10⁻²² grams

Combustion analysis of toluene, a common organic solvent, gives 3.52 mg of co2 and 0.822 mg of h2o. if the compound contains onl

IRISSAK [1]

<span>C7H8 First, lookup the atomic weight of all involved elements Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999 Then calculate the molar masses of CO2 and H2O Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol Molar mass H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 g/mol Now calculate the number of moles of each product obtained Note: Not interested in the absolute number of moles, just the relative ratios. So not going to get pedantic about the masses involved being mg and converting them to grams. As long as I'm using the same magnitude units in the same places for the calculations, I'm OK. moles CO2 = 3.52 / 44.0087 = 0.079984 moles H2O = 0.822 / 18.01488 = 0.045629 Since each CO2 molecule has 1 carbon atom, I can use the same number for the relative moles of carbon. However, since each H2O molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms, I need to double that number to get the relative number of moles for hydrogen. moles C = 0.079984 moles H = 0.045629 * 2 = 0.091258 So we have a ratio of 0.079984 : 0.091258 for carbon and hydrogen. We need to convert that to a ratio of small integers. First divide both numbers by 0.079984 (selected since it's the smallest), getting 1: 1.140953 The 1 for carbon looks good. But the 1.140953 for hydrogen isn't close to an integer. So let's multiply the ratio by 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., etc and see what each new ratio looks like (Effectively seeing what 1, 2, 3, 4, etc carbons look like) 1 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 1 : 1.140953 2 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 2 : 2.281906 3 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 3 : 3.422859 4 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 4 : 4.563812 5 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 5 : 5.704765 6 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 6 : 6.845718 7 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 7 : 7.986671 8 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 8 : 9.127624 That 7.986671 in row 7 looks extremely close to 8. I doubt I'd get much closer unless I go to extremely high integers. So it looks like the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8</span>
