Atomic Mass Unit To Kilogram (U To Kg) Converter

The Atomic Mass Unit to Kilogram (U to Kg) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you convert atomic mass units (U) into kilograms (Kg). This is useful in scientific calculations where atomic-scale measurements need to be expressed in standard SI units.

An atomic mass unit (U), also known as a unified atomic mass unit, is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. It is defined as exactly one-twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which is approximately the mass of a proton or neutron. The formula for atomic mass unit is:

1 U = 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom

To convert from atomic mass units to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor where:

1 U ? 1.66053906660 × 10^-27 kg

Using this, the conversion formula is straightforward:

Mass in kilograms = Number of atomic mass units (U) × 1.66053906660 × 10^-27 kg

This tool automates the calculation, allowing you to quickly convert any value from atomic mass units to kilograms with ease. Simply input the number of U, and the converter will provide the equivalent mass in kilograms.
