At one time, weight net the oxygen atom was the basis of calculating relative molecular mass. It was discarded as it has three isotopes. After the discovery of isotopes for almost all elements, an isotope of carbon, C-12 was declared by the IUPAC.
Oxygen is a non meta element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
To calculate the relative atomic mass of oxygen, you multiply the mass of each isotope by its natural abundance (in decimal form), and then sum these values. The calculation is as follows: [ \text{Relative atomic mass} = (16 \times 0.990) + (17 \times 0.0004) + (18 \times 0.0020) = 15.84 + 0.0068 + 0.036 = 15.8868 ] Thus, the relative atomic mass of oxygen is approximately 15.88 amu.
The relative atomic mass of oxygen is determined by taking the weighted average of the isotopic masses of its naturally occurring isotopes (O-16, O-17, O-18) in respect to their abundance in nature. This calculation gives an average value close to 16, which is the standard atomic mass unit for oxygen.
The relative atomic mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol and the relative atomic mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol. Therefore, the relative molecular mass of SO2 (sulfur dioxide) is 32.06 + (16.00 x 2) = 64.06 g/mol.
Carbon-12 (12C) is used as the standard in the relative scale for atomic masses, and its assigned atomic mass is 12 atomic mass units.
In 1803 Dalton suggested 1H as the basic unit for the atomic mass unit(amu). Ostwald recommended 1/16 mass of Oxygen. However, this suggestion was made before the isotopes 17O an 18O were discovered. Since 1961, the unit is based on 1/12 mass of 12C.
The mass density of oxygen gas at standard conditions (0°C and 1 atm) is approximately 1.429 g/L.
The atomic weight (not mass) of oxygen is [15,99903; 15,99977] or in an abridged form 15,999. The term atomic mass is used only for isotopes. The mass number is the sum of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus.
None. The relative abundance of isotopes is used to calculate the Average Mass (by multiplying the Atomic Mass of the isotopes by their relative abundancies and adding the products together) while the Atomic Mass is simply the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.
True. Hydrogen-1, also known as protium, is the standard used for the relative scale of atomic masses. Its mass is defined as exactly 1 atomic mass unit (amu) on the atomic mass scale.
"sm" is not a standard measure of mass. Please use whole words and define what you mean.
The relative formula mass of MgCO3 is 84.3 g/mol. This is calculated by adding the atomic masses of magnesium (24.3 g/mol), carbon (12.0 g/mol), and three oxygen atoms (16.0 g/mol each) together.
