Read the given compound and note down the elements present in it. By using periodic table, find the mass number for each element.
Atomic mass is given by the formula:
Atomic mass = Mass number $\times$ No of atoms of the Particular element present in the given compound.
Apply the formula for all the elements present in the given compound and add them, we get the atomic mass.
Find the Atomic mass of Benzene?
Given Compound is Benzene. Its chemical formula is C6H6 which means it has 6 atoms of Carbon and 6 atoms of hydrogen.
From periodic table
Mass number of Carbon C = 12.0107 amu
Mass number of Hydrogen H = 1.00794 amu.
Atomic mass = 6 $\times$ 12.0107 amu + 6 $\times$ 1.00794 amu
= 78.11184 amu.
The Atomic mass of Benzene is 78.11184 amu.
Find the atomic mass of Water?
Given Compound is Water. We know that its chemical formula is H2O which means it has 2 atoms of Hydrogen and 1 atom of Oxygen.
From periodic table
Mass number of Hydrogen H = 1.00794 amu
Mass number of Oxygen O = 16 amu
Atomic mass = 2 $\times$ 1.00794 amu + 1 $\times$ 15.9994 amu.
= 18.01588 amu.
The atomic mass of water is 18.01588 amu.
