Molar mass (symbol: M) is a fundamental property in chemistry representing the mass of one mole of a substance, be it an element or a compound. It's essentially the mass of Avogadro's number (N<sub>A</sub> ≈ 6.022 × 10<sup>23</sup>) of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) of that substance.
Definition: The <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/molar%20mass%20definition">molar mass definition</a> is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
Units: The standard unit for molar mass is grams per mole (g/mol). Sometimes, kilograms per mole (kg/mol) is also used, but g/mol is much more common in practical calculations.
Determining Molar Mass:
For Elements: The molar mass of an element is numerically equal to its <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/atomic%20weight">atomic weight</a> found on the periodic table. For example, the atomic weight of carbon (C) is approximately 12.01, so its molar mass is 12.01 g/mol.
For Compounds: The molar mass of a compound is calculated by summing the molar masses of all the atoms present in its chemical formula. For example, the molar mass of water (H<sub>2</sub>O) is calculated as follows:
Importance and Applications: Understanding molar mass is crucial for:
Relationship to Formula Mass/Molecular Weight: The terms formula mass and molecular weight are related to molar mass, but they have slightly different connotations. Formula mass is used for ionic compounds and refers to the sum of the atomic masses in the empirical formula, while molecular weight is traditionally used for covalent compounds. However, molar mass is a more general term and can be applied to any substance.
