Lesson: Chapter 7 — Quantification of Elements and Compounds

7.1. Relative atomic mass 5 of 12

Question 5

What is the unit of relative atomic mass?

The right answer is the one marked above.

It has no unit. There is a mass on the top and a mass on the bottom, so the grams cancel on dividing.

g mol-1 is the unit of molar mass, which is a different quantity. Attaching a unit to the answer is the commonest error in this section.

Answer the question to continue.
