Concept explainers

Half Life
The concept of Half Life has numerous practical applications some of them includes figuring out the effective drug dosage to finding out when a radioactive becomes safe to use. If you look for a career in Nuclear Physics you will need this concept.
Question

If the unit for atomic mass were defined so that the mass of 1H
were exactly 1.000 000 u, what would be the mass of (a) 12C (actual
mass 12.000 000 u) and (b) 238U (actual mass 238.050 785 u)?
