An amu is an atomic mass unit. That is a mass unit equal to exactly one-twelfth the mass of carbon 12-atom.

 

Therefore 1 atom of 12C "weighs" 12 amu.

answer
It shows the different percentages that make-up a substance.
question
What is are the three steps of going from a mass percent, to an empirical formula?
answer

1. convert the mass percent to grams and divide by the molar mass, which gives the moles of each element.

2. divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles, which gives the mole ratios of elements

3.change the mole ratios of an element to integer subscripts, and that produces the empirical formula.
