You have several terms confused in this statement .... "How is Gram molecular weight of 1 oxygem is 16amu=16g.How is amu expressed in grams."
... 1st ... the atomic mass of oxygen is approx. 16 atomic mass units (amu) --- the atomic mass is the mass of a single atom, which is so small it is undetectictable by a normal balance .. one AMU is about 1.66 x 10^-24 g or 0.00000000000000000000000166 g <<<< see, really small
.... 2nd ... when talking about larger amounts, amounts measurable in grams, chemists use amounts called moles. 1 mole is a large number of atoms , 6.022x10^23 atoms, or 60220000000000000000000 <<< see a very large number of atoms. This number is called Avogadro's number. Remember it and that it is atoms in 1 mole.
.... 3rd ... These numbers are NOT by accident ... they make it convenient for chemsts
using Hydrogen as an example --- Notice that ... 1.66x10^-24(g/amu) X 6.022x10^23(atoms/mole) X 1amu = 1g/mole , so that 1 mole of H atoms will have a mass of about 1 gram ...
... AND for oxygen, 1 atom of O has a mass of 16 amu so ---
1.66x10^-24(g/amu) X 6.022x10^23(atoms/mole) X 16amu = 16g/mole ... 1 mole of oxygen atoms has a mass of 16 g ...
... It works that way for EVERY element, it even extends into the molar mass of molecules like water , 1 H atom is 1 amu, and 1 O atom is 16 amu .. So H2O will have a molecular mass (mass of 1 molecule) of 2X1amu + 1X16amu = 18amu, but that is the mass of 1 molecule ... agan, for 1 mole, we are talking about 6.022x10^23 molecules and 1.66x10^-24(g/amu) X 6.022x10^23(molecules/mole) X 18amu = 18g/mole ... 1 mole of water molecules has a mass of 18 g ..
==========
After a while you get use to this fact .. when talkng about 1 atom or 1 molecule you use the atomic masses labeled as AMU, but if talkng about 1 mole of these substances you use the same atomic masses from the perodic table BUT you label them as grams.
///// Good luck...
