Scientific / Atomic

Carbon-12 Atom Mass

What is a carbon-12 atom mass?

The mass of a single carbon-12 atom is exactly 12 u by definition, about 1.9926E-26 kg.

Origin of the carbon-12 atom mass

The reference nuclide that defines the unified atomic mass scale.

Where it is used

The defining standard for the atomic mass unit.

When and where it was developed

Chosen as the mass standard by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.

Ratti to Carbon-12 Atom Mass conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between rattis and carbon-12 atom mass:

1 ratti = 6.097418e+21 C-12
1 C-12 = 1.640039e-22 ratti

To convert rattis to carbon-12 atom mass, multiply the value in rattis by 6.097418e+21. To reverse, multiply carbon-12 atom mass by 1.640039e-22.

Step-by-step: convert rattis to carbon-12 atom mass

  1. Write down the value in rattis (ratti).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 6.097418e+21.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in carbon-12 atom mass (C-12).
  4. To reverse, multiply the carbon-12 atom mass value by 1.640039e-22.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 ratti to C-12:
1 × 6.097418e+21 = 6.097418e+21 C-12

Example 2 — Convert 100 ratti to C-12:
100 × 6.097418e+21 = 6.097418e+23 C-12

Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer

3 rattis equals 3,000 carbon-12 atom mass — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.

3 ratti × 6.097418e+21 = 1.829225e+22 C-12

Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features

One ratti equals one thousand carbon-12 atom mass — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.

1 ratti × 6.097418e+21 = 6.097418e+21 C-12

Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping

A 10-ratti thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in carbon-12 atom mass, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.

10 ratti × 6.097418e+21 = 6.097418e+22 C-12
