i have a problem and it talks about pressure at 1.20 amu...does this mean that it is also 1.20 atm? are they the same?

AMU is atomic mass unit for an atom/element. ATM is atmospheric pressure unit.

amu is the atomic mass units. atm is atmospheres which is used to measure pressure. 1 atm = ~101000 pascals. 1 amu = 1/12 the weight of a carbon atom nucleus.

unless I'm mistaken, the only amu I know is Atomic Mass Units, nothing to do with pressure.

Not the same
