Answer:

Relative atomic mass and it is expressed in atomic mass unit (amu)

Explanation:

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu

How many milliliters of manganese metal, with a density of 7.43 g/mL, would be needed to produce 21.7 grams of hydrogen gas in t
Alla [95]
First compute the number of grams of manganese metal required to make 21.7 grams of H2. 
21.7 g H2 x (1 mole H2/ 2 g H2) x (1 mole Mn/1 mol H2) x (55 grams Mn/1 mol Mn) = 596.75 grams 
Now density = mass/volume 
7.43 = 596.75/volume 
volume = 596.75/7.43 = 80.31 mL 
80.31 mL is the amount of manganese needed.
