Why is the atomic mass equal to the molar mass, I would think for example that Ar(Cl) = 35, and that Cl consist out of 1 part. But it's same to the molar mass, which is 35 grams, which doesn't sound logic to me, because 1mol: 6,02 * 10^23, so than you would have at the atomic mass like 6,02 *10 ^23, but there is only 1 Cl atom and not 6,02 *10^23 atoms? Please help me.

They are essentially the same thing. The atomic mass is the average mass of the element based on which isotope shows up more in nature. Molar Mass is the grams it takes of any element to equal one mole ( or the mass that 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of that element.) They can be interchanged, because they are basically the same thing.

yes

thomaster · Answer

The difference is that atomic mass is expressed in the dalton unit (Da or u) and molar mass if expressed in gram/mol

thomaster · Answer

But it's the same because chlorine = 35.45 atomic mass units (u or Da) and in molar mass that is 35.45 gram/mol
