Molar mass

Molar mass. The mass of one mole in grams: add the atomic mass of every atom in the formula. Masses. Standard atomic masses to two decimals, hydrogen 1.008, every element to uranium. Typing. Ca(OH)2, (NH4)2SO4, CuSO4.5H2O and K4[Fe(CN)6] all work.

Grams, moles, particles

Type any one. The other three fill in. Moles. From grams, particles or litres they are rounded to 3 significant figures first, as in a worked answer. 1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ particles = 22.7 L of gas at STP (1 bar); 22.4 L at 1 atm.

1 mol of Cl₂ = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

At 1 atm (older value): 22.40 L

Working

Add up the atoms

  1. Chlorine: 2 × 35.45 = 70.90 g
  2. Molar mass = 2 × 35.45 = 70.90 g/mol

1 mol of Cl₂ = 70.90 g

1 g of Cl₂ = 0.01410 mol

Chlorine is made of Cl₂ molecules, so 1 mol of it is 70.90 g. A mole of chlorine atoms, Cl, is 35.45 g.

Questions

Molar mass of chlorine: quick answers

What is the molar mass of chlorine?

The molar mass of chlorine, Cl₂, is 70.90 g/mol. So 1 mol of chlorine has a mass of 70.90 g.

How do you calculate the molar mass of Cl₂?

Add the atomic masses of all the atoms: 2 × 35.45 = 70.90 g/mol.

How many moles are in 100 g of chlorine?

Divide the mass by the molar mass: 100 ÷ 70.90 = 1.41 mol of Cl₂.
