Molar Mass
General Chemistry 1
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
The amount of matter present in a substance can be
measured by obtaining its mass.
2
In chemical reactions,
atoms rearrange to form
new substances. We
need to relate the mass
of the substance to the
number of atoms
present. A gram of a
substance may contain
billions of particles.
3
In the previous lessons, you have learned about mole as a
unit for the amount of substance. A mole is equivalent to
6.022 ✕ 1023 particles. The relationship between the mass of
the substance and the number of moles is given by the
molar mass. In this lesson, you will learn about molar mass.

Tips
When getting the number of atoms in
compounds with parentheses make sure
to distribute first the number outside
parentheses to the number of atoms
inside. For example, in (NH4)2SO4, to count
the number N and H, distribute first 2 to
NH4 such that (NH4)2 will be N2H8. This
means that there are 2 N atoms and 8 H
atoms.
