Molar Mass (Chemical Formula)
Chemistry
Intro: We parse the formula and sum atomic masses.
Worked example
- C6H12O6
- Parse counts: C:6, H:12, O:6.
- Atomic masses (approx.): $M_C=12.01$, $M_H=1.008$, $M_O=16.00\,\mathrm{g/mol}$.
- Multiply: $6\cdot12.01=72.06$, $12\cdot1.008=12.096$, $6\cdot16.00=96.00$.
- Sum: $72.06+12.096+96.00=180.156\,\mathrm{g/mol}$.
- Answer: $\boxed{180.16\,\text{g/mol}}$.

We use standard average atomic masses unless specified otherwise.
