Definition of ArA_r

Avg mass of atom vs 1/12 mass of C-12 atom

Unit of ArA_r

Dimensionless (no unit)

Reference standard for relative mass

Carbon-12 atom (1/12th of its mass)

Reasons C-12 chosen as reference

Non-toxic, solid at room temp, easily separable

Definition of MrM_r

Avg mass of molecule vs 1/12 mass of C-12 atom

MrM_r of H2OH_2O

18

Use of RFM (relative formula mass)

For ionic compounds

Definition of molar mass

Mass of one mole of a substance

Unit of molar mass

g/mol (grams per mole)

Relationship: molar mass & ArA_r/MrM_r

Numerically equal; molar mass adds g/mol unit to ArA_r/MrM_r value
