Why are the numbers in an element’s atomic mass the same as the numbers in its molar mass ignoring the units?
In: 3
That is because of the simple reason that it was defined that way to make calculations easier. Creating a new mass unit (amu) which in amount is equal to the molar mass makes converting mass between a single atom/molecule and a mole of them way easier than if the mass of a single atom/molecule was measured in yoctograms (1amu=1.66yg)
