How to use the Molecular Weight Calculator

Calculate the molar mass of any chemical formula with an element breakdown.

  1. 1 Enter a chemical formula such as C6H12O6 or CuSO4·5H2O. Capitalization matters.
  2. 2 Read the molar mass and composition by element.
  3. 3 Optionally enter a mass in grams to convert it to moles and molecules.

Example and practical tips

Glucose, C6H12O6, has a molar mass of about 180.16 g/mol, so 90 g is 0.5 mol.

Frequently asked questions

Why does capitalization matter?

Element symbols start with a capital letter: Co is cobalt, while CO is carbon monoxide.

Which atomic weights are used?

Standard atomic weights from IUPAC, rounded to about four or five significant figures.
