Use grams as the base unit and depending on the size of the rock, grams or deckagrams for a pebble, a small rock hectograms for a rock, and kilograms for a little bigger rock (but still small). The point is to use grams as your base unit.

The si base unit of mass is the milliliter?

The SI or international system of measurement base unit of mass is not the milliliter. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram.


When you substitute the unit of grams for amu you obtain what of compound?

When you substitute the unit of grams for amu (atomic mass unit), you obtain the molar mass of the compound in grams per mole. This molar mass represents the mass of one mole of the compound, which is a fundamental concept in chemistry for measuring amounts of substances.


Is mass used as a method of counting atoms?

Mass is not used as a method of counting atoms directly. Instead, the atomic mass unit (amu) is used to measure the mass of individual atoms relative to the mass of a carbon-12 atom. The mole is the unit used to count atoms, with 1 mole containing Avogadro's number of atoms.


Relative atomic masses are measured in?

Atomic mass is measured in a unit called an "atomic mass unit". This unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom at ground state.An atomic mass unit is approximately 1.66053886 x 10-27 kg.Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and Daltons.


What are AMU's based on?

The answer to this question is Hydrogen. If you have an periodic table, you will see that the only element with a mass close to 1 is Hydrogen, and that is because 1 atom of Hydrogen weighs 1 Atomic Mass Unit. --------------------------------------- The first answer is not correct ! The atomic mass unit is 1/12 from the atomic mass of the isotope 12C in his ground state.
