Relative Atomic Mass, (Ar) of an element:

• Number of times one atom of the element is heavier than one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12

• Relative atomic mass = Mass of one atom of element 1/12 x mass of one carbon-12

• Relative atomic mass for sulphur = 32 (one sulphur atom is 32 x heavier than 1/12 of mass of one (C12)

http://www.tutorvista.com/content/science/science-i/atoms-molecules/atom.php

Relative Atomic Mass

Relative Isotopic Mass

Isotopes – Atoms of same element with • Different number of neutrons • Same number of protons and electrons Due to presence of isotopes, when calculating RAM,

weighted average/mean of all isotopes present is used.

X - No isotopes

Relative formula mass of Y3(PO4)2 is 310 Determine the relative atomic mass of Y (RAM: O =16, P =31) ANSWER Assume RAM for Y = X RMM of Y3(PO4)2 = 310 3Y + 2 [ 31 + 4(16) ] = 310 3Y + 190 = 310 Y = (310 -190)/3 = 40

Calculate the percentage by weight of nitrogen in ammonium sulphate (NH4)2SO4

ANSWER Total RAM for nitrogen = 14 x 2 = 28 RMM (NH4)2SO4 = 132 % by weight of N = 28 x 100% 132 = 21.2%
