1 atomic mass unit = _ kg

Correct answer: A. 1.66×10-²⁷ kg

  • A. 1.66×10-²⁷ kg
  • B. 2.45×10-³¹ kg
  • C. 2.77 x 10^34 kg
  • D. 9.34×10-²⁵ kg

Explanation

The atomic mass unit (AMU or amu) of an element is a measure of its atomic mass. Also known as the dalton (Da) or unified atomic mass unit (u), the AMU expresses both atomic masses and molecular masses. AMU is defined as one-twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon-12 (12C). masses. 1 amu is equal to 1.67377 x 10-24 grams or 1.67377 x 10-27 kilograms.
