How to find the relative atomic mass

1. Write the formula of the compound.
2. Write the numbers of each atom in the formula.
3. Insert the relative atomic mass for each type of atom.
4. Calculate the total mass for each element.
5. Add up the total mass for the compound

Molecular masses

  Molecular mass is calculated as the sum of the atomic weights of each whole element multiplied by the number of…
