Mass number is a property specific to a particular isotope or nuclide of an element, while the usual Periodic Table include average properties for all the stable, naturally occurring isotopes of each element.

How do you find the mass of hydrogen?

Look on a periodic table. If you have different isotopes then you need to multiply the mass number and atomic number and then find the average of them and you'll have the average atomic mass which is the same as on the periodic table. The location of the mass number on a periodic table depends but it's normally the one with a decimal.
