This means that atomic mass units can be easily converted to kilograms or grams. For example, carbon-12 has a mass of 12 amu. By multiplying 12 amu by 1.66 x 10^-27 kg/amu we find the mass of. An amu is a unit of mass, like a pound, gram, microgram, or tonne. An amu is a very, very small unit of mass, defined, as you know by now, as being exactly the mass of 12 isolated 12 C atoms in their ground state (which is just a way to eliminate kinetic or potential energy which would give the atoms more mass (remember E = mc²)).

How to Convert Dalton to Gram

1 dalton = 1.6605300000013E-24 g
1 g = 6.02217364335E+23 dalton

Example: convert 15 dalton to g:
15 dalton = 15 × 1.6605300000013E-24 g = 2.490795000002E-23 g

Amu To Grams Formula

What is the mathematical relationship between atomic mass units (amu) and grams (g)?

1 gram = ? amu

1g of H atoms = 1 mole of H atoms = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms. The atomic mass of H = 1 amu, so you could work out the mass of 1 x H atom in grams as 1/6.02 x 10^23 g = 1.66 x 10^-24g.

4g of He atoms = 1 mole of He atoms = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms. The atomic mass of He = 4 amu, so you could work out the mass of 1 x He atom in grams as 4/6.02 x 10^23 g = 6.64 x 10^-24g (4 times the mass of the each H atom) .

Amu To Grams Problems

So you could argue that each amu has a mass of 1.66 x 10^-24g. However the gram scale is an actual mass scale whereas the amu scale is a relative scale based on C-12 having a mass of 12 amu,.
