Unveil the simplicity of converting atomic mass units to daltons with our intuitive AMU to Da converter, designed by Newtum to spark your scientific curiosity.
An Atomic Mass Unit (AMU) is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of an atom or molecule. It is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom, at rest and in its ground state, and is approximately equal to 1.66053906660 x 10^-27 kilograms.
Definition of DaltonA Dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to the unified atomic mass unit (u or AMU). It is named after the scientist John Dalton who proposed the atomic theory. One Dalton is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom and is about 1.66053906660 x 10^-27 kilograms.
| Atomic Mass Unit (amu) | Dalton (Da) |
|---|---|
| 1 amu | 1 Da |
| 2 amu | 2 Da |
| 3 amu | 3 Da |
| 4 amu | 4 Da |
| 5 amu | 5 Da |
| 6 amu | 6 Da |
| 7 amu | 7 Da |
| 8 amu | 8 Da |
| 9 amu | 9 Da |
| 10 amu | 10 Da |
1 amu = 1 Da
1 Da = 1 amu
Example 1:
convert 12 amu to Da:
12 amu = 12 Da
Example 2:
convert 24 amu to Da:
24 amu = 24 Da
The concept of the atomic mass unit (amu) dates back to the early 19th century, stemming from John Dalton's atomic theory. It became a standard unit for expressing the mass of atoms and molecules. The Dalton (Da), named after Dalton himself, is synonymous with the atomic mass unit, reinforcing its continued significance in scientific measurements.

Example 1:
Convert 50 amu to Da:
50 amu = 50 Da
Example 2:
Convert 100 amu to Da:
100 amu = 100 Da
What is an AMU?
An AMU is an atomic mass unit, used as a standard unit for mass in the atomic scale.
How does the AMU to Da converter work?
You input the value in AMU, and the converter translates it into Daltons, with 1 amu equaling 1 Da.
Can I convert Da back to AMU?
Yes, since the conversion factor is 1:1, you can easily convert Daltons back to atomic mass units.
