In chemistry, the molar mass (M) (sometimes called molecular weight or formula weight, but see related quantities for usage) of a chemical compound is defined as the ratio between the mass and the amount of substance (measured in moles) of any sample of the compound. [1] The molar mass is a bulk, not molecular, property of a substance.
For example, water has a molar mass of 18.0153(3) g/mol, but individual water molecules have molecular masses which range between 18.010 564 6863(15) Da (1 H 2 16 O) and 22.027 7364(9) Da (2 H 2 18 O). Atomic and molecular masses are usually reported in daltons, which is defined in terms of the mass of the isotope 12 C (carbon-12).
This template calculates the molecular mass (or molar mass) of a chemical compound. It is designed to be embedded in infoboxes {{ Infobox drug }} and {{ Chembox }} , but it can be used in-line just as well.
The number average molar mass is a way of determining the molecular mass of a polymer.Polymer molecules, even ones of the same type, come in different sizes (chain lengths, for linear polymers), so the average molecular mass will depend on the method of averaging.
When the prevalences of interest are those of individual chemical elements, rather than of compounds or other substances, the term mass fraction can also refer to the ratio of the mass of an element to the total mass of a sample. In these contexts an alternative term is mass percent composition.
Some retailers are using President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs to urge consumers to shop now, suggesting if the import duties go into effect next year, a range of goods could cost ...
At the conclusion of its eighth and final rate-setting policy meeting of 2024 on December 18, 2024, the Federal Reserve announced it was lowering the federal funds target interest rate by 25 basis ...
M 2 is the molar mass of gas 2. Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion or of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight. Thus, if the molecular weight of one gas is four times that of another, it would diffuse through a porous plug or escape through a small pinhole in a vessel at half the rate ...
