Molar Mass Calculator
Molar Mass is evaluated from Element 1, Atoms of Element 1 and Element 2. The calculation reports Molar Mass, Mass of 1 mol and Mass of 1 mmol.

About the Molar Mass Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
M (g/mol) = n₁ x M₁ + n₂ x M₂ + n₃ x M₃
where nᵢ = atom count, Mᵢ = atomic mass (g/mol)
Example - Water (H₂O):
M = 2 x 1.008 + 1 x 15.999 = 2.016 + 15.999 = 18.015 g/mol
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: M (g/mol) = n₁ x M₁ + n₂ x M₂ + n₃ x M₃ where nᵢ = atom count, Mᵢ = atomic mass (g/mol) Example - Water (H₂O): M = 2 x 1.008 + 1 x 15.999 = 2.016 + 15.999 = 18.015 g/mol Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Water — H₂O
Inputs
With Element 1 = H, Atoms of Element 1 = 2, Element 2 = O and Atoms of Element 2 = 1 as the stated inputs, the result is Molar Mass = 42 g/mol, Mass of 1 mol = 42 g and Mass of 1 mmol = 42 mg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 2: Sodium Chloride — Table Salt (NaCl)
Inputs
With Element 1 = Na, Atoms of Element 1 = 1, Element 2 = Cl and Atoms of Element 2 = 1 as the stated inputs, the result is Molar Mass = 42 g/mol, Mass of 1 mol = 42 g and Mass of 1 mmol = 42 mg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 3: Glucose — C₆H₁₂O₆
Inputs
With Element 1 = C, Atoms of Element 1 = 6, Element 2 = H and Atoms of Element 2 = 12 as the stated inputs, the result is Molar Mass = 42 g/mol, Mass of 1 mol = 42 g and Mass of 1 mmol = 42 mg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 4: Aspirin — C₉H₈O₄ (Acetylsalicylic Acid)
Inputs
With Element 1 = C, Atoms of Element 1 = 9, Element 2 = H and Atoms of Element 2 = 8 as the stated inputs, the result is Molar Mass = 42 g/mol, Mass of 1 mol = 42 g and Mass of 1 mmol = 42 mg. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
