Sulphuric Acid does NOT have an Atomic Mass. It has a Molecular Mass, because it is a molecule, not an atom.

Refer to the Periodic Table.

The formula for sulphuric acid is H2SO4

This tells us that there are two atoms of hydrogen , one atom of sulphur and four atoms of oxygen.

So from the Periodic Table we read off the atomic masses for each element.

Hence

2 x H = 2 X 1 = 2

1 x S = 1 xs 32 = 32

4 x O = 4 x 16 = 64

2 + 32 + 64 = 98 the Molecular mass of sulphuric acid.
