Relative atomic mass, Ar
• Relative atomic mass is the average
mass of one atom of the element
when compared with 1/12 of the
mass of an atom of carbon-12.
Solution :
M ass of a carbon atom
=
M ass of a helium atom
AR of carbon
=
AR of helium
12
=
4
=3 times
Calculation of
Relative atomic Mass
• Example 2
Mass of a sulphur atom is 2 times greater than
that of the mass of an oxygen atom. What is the
relative atomic mass for sulphur? [ AR : O,16]
Solution:
Mass of a sulphur atom = 2 x mass of an oxygen atom
∴ AR sulphur = 2 x AR oxygen
= 2 x 16
= 32
Calculation of
Relative atomic Mass
• Example 3
How many magnesium atoms will have the same
mass as two silver atom?
[AR : Mg,24 ; Ag,108 ]
Solution:
Let the number of magnesium atom = n
Mass of n magnesium atom = mass of 2 silver atoms
∴ n x 24 = 2 x 108
n = 2 x 108
24
=9
Relative Molecular Mass (Mr )
• The relative molecular mass of a
substance is the average mass of a
molecule of the substance when
compared with 1/12 of the mass of an
atom of carbon-12
Solution:
The formula of water is H2O
Mr H2O = 2H + O
= 2(1) + 16
= 18
Calculation of Mr or Fr
Example 2:
Calculate the relative molecular mass of
ammonia.
[ AR: N,14 ; H,1 ]
Solution:
Formula of ammonia is NH3
Mr of NH3 = N + 3H
= 14 + 3(1)
= 17
Calculation of Mr or Fr
Example 3:
Calculate the relative molecular mass of
carbon dioxide.
[AR : C, 12 ; O,16 ]
Solution:
The formula of carbon dioxide is CO2
Mr CO2 = C + 2O
= 12 + 2(16)
= 44
