Relative Atomic Mass Of Sodium Chloride

However, since these are relative masses of the atoms any mass unit can be used, as shown by the two columns to the right of the arrows, above. In terms of atomic masses: in a total of 142.02 parts by mass of sodium sulfate, 45.98 parts are sodium, 32.06 parts are sulfur, and 64.00 parts are oxygen.

1. Generally, Avogadro number of atoms of sodium weigh 23 g. = 6.022. 10^23 atoms weigh 23 grams = 1 atom weighs 23/(Avogadro number) grams = 3.8. 10^-23 grams.
2. Isotope abundances of sodium. In the above, the most intense ion is set to 100% since this corresponds best to the output from a mass spectrometer. This is not to be confused with the relative percentage isotope abundances which totals 100% for all the naturally occurring isotopes.
3. Generally, Avogadro number of atoms of sodium weigh 23 g. = 6.022. 10^23 atoms weigh 23 grams = 1 atom weighs 23/(Avogadro number) grams = 3.8. 10^-23 grams. So, one atom of sodium weighs 3.8. 10^-23 grams (approximately).
4. When you look at a periodic table of the elements, you see that sodium has an atomic weight of 23. This means that a single atom of sodium weighs 23 atomic mass units (AMUs), but it also means that.

Explanation:

Relative formula mass, #'M'_r#, is determined by multiplying the subscript of each element in the formula by its relative atomic mass, #'A'_r# on the periodic table. The results for each element are added together to calculate the relative formula mass. The unified mass unit or dalton, u or Da, is applied to the relative formula and atomic masses, though they actually have no unit.

Example: What is the relative formula mass for sodium sulfate, #'Na'_2'SO'_4# using whole numbers for the #'A'_r#.

Atomic Mass Calculation Formula

#'M'_r ' Na'_2'SO'_4'##=(2xx'23 u Na')+(1xx'32 u S')+(4xx'16 u O')='142 u Na'_2'SO'_4#

When working with moles, the relative atomic and formula masses are numerically equal the molar mass. Molar mass is the mass in grams of one mole of a substance. So the mass of one mole of sodium, #'23 u'#, would become #'23 g/mol sodium'#, and the mass of one mole of sodium sulfate, #'142 u'#, would be #'142 g/mol'#.
