Definition: Formula Mass

The sum of the atomic masses of the atoms present in the formula is called the formula mass.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 12

Formula: Average Atomic Mas

\[M_{\mathrm{avg.}}=\frac{M_{1}\times r_{1}+M_{2}\times r_{2}+M_{3}\times r_{3}}{r_{1}+r_{2}+r_{3}}\]

where M1, M2, M3 are atomic masses of isotopes and r1, r2, r3 are their relative abundances.
