An atomic mass unit, abbreviated as 'u' or 'amu', is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of an atom or molecule. It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 at rest and in its ground state. One atomic mass unit is approximately equal to 1.66053906660 × 10^-27 kilograms.
Definition of GramA gram is a metric unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. Originally defined as the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a meter, and at the temperature of melting ice, a gram is now used extensively in daily life and science for measuring weight and mass.
| Atomic Mass Unit (u) | Gram (g) |
|---|---|
| 1 u | 1.66053906660e-24 g |
| 10 u | 1.66053906660e-23 g |
| 100 u | 1.66053906660e-22 g |
| 500 u | 8.30269533300e-22 g |
| 1000 u | 1.66053906660e-21 g |
| 5000 u | 8.30269533300e-21 g |
| 10000 u | 1.66053906660e-20 g |
| 50000 u | 8.30269533300e-20 g |
| 100000 u | 1.66053906660e-19 g |
| 500000 u | 8.30269533300e-19 g |
1 u = 1.66053906660e-24 g
1 g = 6.02214076e+23 u
Example 1:
Convert 12 u to g:
12 u = 12 × 1.66053906660e-24 g ≈ 1.99264687992e-23 g
Example 2:
Convert 250 u to g:
250 u = 250 × 1.66053906660e-24 g ≈ 4.15134766650e-22 g
The concept of the atomic mass unit (amu) evolved as scientists sought a practical method to express atomic and molecular masses. It was officially accepted at the first General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1961, facilitating the conversion of atomic mass to grams, which is crucial for chemical and physical calculations, and understanding the scale of atoms and molecules in relation to the macroscopic world.
Explore the practicality of our 'u to g' converter tool, uncovering how it brings scientific accuracy to real-world applications.
Example 1:
To convert 20 u to g:
20 u = 20 × 1.66053906660e-24 g ≈ 3.32107813320e-23 g
Example 2:
To convert 1000 u to g:
1000 u = 1000 × 1.66053906660e-24 g = 1.66053906660e-21 g
