Atomic Mass Constant

The atomic mass constant, atomicMass, is one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. It converts atomic-scale masses into SI kilograms.

Use in calculations

Combine it with avogadro and molarMass when moving between particle and molar quantities. Keep units explicit; atomic mass units and kilograms are not interchangeable without conversion.

Use Atomic Mass in a calculation

Enter atomicMass on a calculator line to see its built-in value, or place the name inside a longer expression. Keep any displayed unit attached when converting or combining physical quantities, and check that every other value uses a compatible dimension.
