Molar Mass

The mass of one mole (6.022×10²³ particles) of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).

Molar mass links the atomic/molecular scale to the macroscopic world. It equals the sum of atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.

Examples

  • H₂O: (2×1.008) + 16.00 = 18.015 g/mol
  • CO₂: 12.01 + (2×16.00) = 44.01 g/mol
  • NaCl: 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 g/mol

Moles Formula

n = mass / molar mass. If you have 36.03 g of water: n = 36.03/18.015 = 2 moles.
