If you really meant to ask "What is the mass defect of oxygen-16," this is how you do it.
mass defect = # of protons x mass of one proton + # of neutrons x mass of one neutron - mass of the nucleus
The atomic number of oxygen-16 is 8, so there are 8 protons. The mass of one proton is approximately 1.0073 amu. The Atomic Mass of oxygen-16 is 16, so there are 8 neutrons in oxygen-16. (Atomic mass of 16 minus atomic number of 8 = # of neutrons in oxygen-16.) The mass of one neutron is approximately 1.0087 amu. The mass of the nucleus of oxygen is 16.
Now substitute the values into the "mass defect" equation:
mass defect = 8x1.0073+8x1.0087-16=approximately 0.128 amu.

What is the formula for mass percent?
mass % of element X = mass of element X ____________________ X 100 total mass of compound or mass of solute _____________________________ X 100 mass of solute + mass of solvent
What equation shows conversation of mass?
The equation that shows conservation of mass is the mass of reactants equals the mass of products in a chemical reaction. This can be represented as: Mass of reactants = Mass of products.
What is the equation for the conservation on mass?
The equation for conservation of mass is mass in = mass out. This means that the total mass of a system remains constant over time, with the amount of mass entering a system equaling the amount of mass leaving the system.
What is the mass percent composition of an element in a molecule?
Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
Is the mass of an electron one hundredth the mass of a proton?
No, the mass of an electron is roughly 1/1836 the mass of a proton.
How many nuetrons in the element oxygen?
For the standard isotope Oxygen16 O = 16 but atomic number 8 therefore 16-8 = 8 - so 8 neutrons
How is mass different from mass?
Mass and mass are the same thing.
How do you find a mass by difference?
Mass of the contained material = Total mass (mass of the container + mass of the material) - Mass of container
What is the formula for mass percent?
mass % of element X = mass of element X ____________________ X 100 total mass of compound or mass of solute _____________________________ X 100 mass of solute + mass of solvent
Does mass have mass?
Yes, mass has mass. It is, therefore, matter. If mass did not have mass, then it is "something" with no mass. That would make it "non-matter" and perhaps it might be energy.
What properties stay the same during physical and chemical change?
mass mass
What is the relationship between center of mass and mass distribution?
The center of mass is the point where an object's mass is considered to be concentrated. The mass distribution refers to how the mass is distributed within the object. The position of the center of mass depends on the mass distribution of the object.
What determines an element's mass?
the mass of protons + the mass of neutrons = mass of the element
How do you solve for percent by mass?
reg.% by mass mass% m/m mass of solute mass of solution=x100
What are the three other names for Midnight Mass Dawn Mass and Christmas Day Mass?
Angel's Mass, Shepherd's Mass, and Mass of the Divine Word.
What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?
1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
