Relative formula mass

Cards (4)

  • The relative atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of that element and is denoted with (Ar)
  • The relative formula mass (Mr) is found by adding together the relative atomic masses of all the elements in that compound's molecular formula.
  • Calculating percentage mass
    Ar of element x number of element / Mr of the compound
  • Average Atomic Mass = Sum of Isotopic Abundances x Isotopic Masses / Total abundance
