Discover the ease of converting grams to atomic mass units (amu) with Newtum's accurate Gram to AMU Converter. Get curious and unravel the simplicity behind the science!
A gram, symbolized as 'g', is a unit of mass in the metric system. It is defined as one thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. Originally based on the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at the temperature of melting ice, the gram today is used widely in science, commerce, and everyday life.
Definition of Atomic Mass UnitAn atomic mass unit (amu) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state, and it averages at about 1.66053906660 x 10^-27 kilograms.
| Gram (g) | Atomic Mass Unit (amu) |
|---|---|
| 1 g | 6.022 x 10^23 amu |
| 2 g | 1.2044 x 10^24 amu |
| 3 g | 1.8066 x 10^24 amu |
| 4 g | 2.4088 x 10^24 amu |
| 5 g | 3.011 x 10^24 amu |
| 6 g | 3.6132 x 10^24 amu |
| 7 g | 4.2154 x 10^24 amu |
| 8 g | 4.8176 x 10^24 amu |
| 9 g | 5.4198 x 10^24 amu |
| 10 g | 6.022 x 10^24 amu |
1 g = 6.022 x 10^23 amu
1 amu = 1.66053906660 x 10^-24 g
Example 1:
Convert 10 g to amu:
10 g = 10 x 6.022 x 10^23 amu = 6.022 x 10^24 amu
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 g to amu:
0.5 g = 0.5 x 6.022 x 10^23 amu = 3.011 x 10^23 amu
The Gram to Atomic Mass Unit Converter has its roots in bridging the gap between macroscopic and microscopic mass measurements. It enables a seamless transition from the mass of everyday objects to the mass of atoms, vital for scientific calculations and educational purposes.
Understanding the real-life applications of the Gram to Atomic Mass Unit Converter sparks appreciation for its scientific significance.
Example 1:
Convert 15 g to amu:
15 g = 15 x 6.022 x 10^23 amu = 9.033 x 10^24 amu
Example 2:
Convert 0.2 g to amu:
0.2 g = 0.2 x 6.022 x 10^23 amu = 1.2044 x 10^23 amu
