One atomic mass unit, or unified atomic mass unit, is defined as 1/12th of the mass of a neutral carbon-12 atom and is equivalent to

"1 amu" = 1.66053892 * 10^(-27)"kg"1 amu=1.66053892⋅10−27kg

Expressed in grams, 1 amu is equal to

1.66053892 * 10^(-27)cancel("kg") * (10^(3)"g")/(1cancel("kg")) = 1.66053892 * 10^(-24)"g"
