SUMMARY
The average Relative Atomic Mass of krypton can be calculated using the ideal gas law and the mass increase observed in an evacuated glass bulb. When the bulb, with a capacity of 1.00 dm3, was filled with krypton at a pressure of 1.00 x 105 Pa and a temperature of 300K, the mass increased by 3.32 g. This mass increase directly corresponds to the mass of krypton, confirming that mass is conserved. The calculation of the number of moles (n) from this mass is essential for determining the relativistic atomic mass of krypton.
