Molar Mass Calculator

Calculate molar mass from a chemical formula, including grouped atoms and hydrates, using CIAAW abridged standard atomic weights.

Molar mass74.0920 g/mol

Case-sensitive symbols; parentheses, square brackets and hydrates such as CuSO4·5H2O are supported.

    Uses CIAAW’s 2024 abridged standard atomic weights, not isotope-specific masses. Natural composition varies. Charged species, isotope notation and elements without standard atomic weights are rejected.

    How this was calculated

    Parse each element’s count, including group multipliers and hydrate coefficients.

    Molar mass = sum of (atom count × abridged standard atomic weight).

    Formula and method

    Sum each element’s atom count multiplied by its standard atomic weight. Group multipliers and hydrate coefficients expand the atom counts first.

    Worked example

    H₂O contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom: 2 × 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015 g/mol.
