Molar Mass Calculator

Calculate the molar mass (molecular weight) of any chemical compound. Perfect for chemistry calculations, stoichiometry, and solution preparation.

About Molar Mass

Molar mass, also known as molecular weight, is the mass of one mole of a substance. It is calculated by adding the atomic weights of all atoms in a molecule. The SI unit for molar mass is grams per mole (g/mol).
