amu stands for atomic mass unit. It is an arbitrarily defined unit in which the mass of an individual atom is expressed, or described. It is commonly agreed to be 1/12 the mass of a Carbon 12 atom.

Atomic mass is a calculation of the mass of an element, when taking into account the varying mass number of its isotopes. Although each isotope shares the same number of protons and electrons, they have varying numbers of neutrons. You must also factor in the overall abundance of the isotope and solve for a weighted average. You can learn how to find average atomic mass by following these calculations

It's the atomic mass unit. It is the mass of each atom as described underneath its name on the periodic table. By adding the total masses of individual atoms together, you can determine the total molecular mass of a given substance.
Then you can do stoichiometry, but that's a different question...
