One AMU is 1/12th of the weight of a Carbon 12 Atom.
One Mole is the molecular weight expressed as grammes - so a mole of Carbon 12 is BY DEFINITION exactly 12 grammes.
The number of atoms in a mole is equal to Avogadro's number (6.023 x 10^23)
If you think about these facts using Carbon 12 as an example, you see that it has a mass of 12 Daltons, and also weighs 12g/mol.
Dalton to g/mol it 1:1 conversion-Daltons are a molecular weight...
