Frequently asked questions
- Where do atomic masses come from?
- From the IUPAC periodic table. They reflect the natural isotope distribution on Earth, which is why carbon is 12.011 rather than exactly 12.
- What are some common molar masses?
- Water H₂O = 18.015, NaCl = 58.44, glucose C₆H₁₂O₆ = 180.16, CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol.
