Calculate the value of 1 a.m.u. in grams.

Explanation

Atomic mass of carbon =12
12 g of carbon contains `6.022 xx 10^(23)` atoms
mass of L atom of C-12 = `12/(6.022 xx 10^(23))`g
L a.m.u. `=1/12` x mass of L atom of C-12
`=1/12 xx 12/(6.022 xx 10^(23)) = 1/(6.022 xx 10^(23))`
`=1.66 xx 10^(-24)` g
