Measurement of Atomic Mass Most elements occur in nature as mixture of isotopes; thus atomic masses are usually average values. The modern system of atomic masses, instituted in 1961, is based on 12C as the standard. In this system 12C is assigned a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units (amu), and the masses of all other atoms are given relative to this standard. Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company.

Atomic Mass of Carbon 12C and 13C are analyzed in a mass spectrometer, the ratio of their masses is found to be: Mass 13C/Mass 12C=1.0836129 Mass of 13C=(1.0836129)(12amu)=13.003355 amu The natural carbon is composed of 98.89% 12C atoms and 1.11% 13C atoms. (0.9889)(12 amu)+(0.0111)(13.0034 amu)=12.01 amu Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
