One mole is an aggregate of an Avogadro number of entities, 1 mol = N 0 ent. This means that the appropriate atomic-scale unit for molar mass is dalton per entity, Da/ent = M u, very nearly equal to 1 g/mol. For Da/ent to be exactly equal to g/mol, the dalton would need to be redefined exactly in terms of the (fixed-h) kilogram.
For example, water has a molar mass of 18.0153(3) g/mol, but individual water molecules have molecular masses which range between 18.010 564 6863(15) Da (1 H 2 16 O) and 22.027 7364(9) Da (2 H 2 18 O). Atomic and molecular masses are usually reported in daltons, which is defined in terms of the mass of the isotope 12 C (carbon-12).
The molar mass of atoms of an element is given by the relative atomic mass of the element multiplied by the molar mass constant, M u ≈ 1.000 000 × 10 −3 kg/mol ≈ 1 g/mol. For normal samples from Earth with typical isotope composition, the atomic weight can be approximated by the standard atomic weight [ 2 ] or the conventional atomic weight.
The most common use of 'Daltons' is as a synonym for g/mol. When someone talks about a 254 kDa protein, they mean it has a molecular mass of 254,000 g/mol. I think this article needs to make this clear.27.54.43.66 03:46, 28 May 2011 (UTC) The statement "Da = g/mol" occurs often in chemistry texts and elsewhere.
The mole and the atomic mass unit (dalton) were originally defined in the International System of Units (SI) in such a way that the constant was exactly 1 g/mol, which made the numerical value of the molar mass of a substance, in grams per mole, equal to the average mass of its constituent particles (atoms, molecules, or formula units) relative ...
where is the molar mass constant, is the Avogadro constant, [5] and () is the experimentally determined molar mass of carbon-12. [ 6 ] The relative isotopic mass (see section below) can be obtained by dividing the atomic mass m a of an isotope by the atomic mass constant m u yielding a dimensionless value .

The dalton (symbol: Da) is the standard unit that is used for indicating mass on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass). [1] The unified atomic mass unit (symbol: u) is equivalent to the dalton. One dalton is approximately the mass of one a single proton or neutron. [2] The unified atomic mass unit has a value of 1.660 538 921 (73) × 10 ...
