Frequently Asked Questions

What is molecular weight?

Molecular weight (or molar mass) is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).

How do I calculate molecular weight?

Add up the atomic weights of all atoms in the molecule. For example, H2O = 2(1.008) + 16.00 = 18.016 g/mol.
