Mass Mole Calculator
Mass of mole calculator works out Molar mass and Monoisotopic (exact) mass from Chemical formula, Sample mass and Report the hydrate breakdown. The default figures on this page give amount of substance of 0.555093 mol; change any entry and the result, the working and the sources update together.

- Parsed formula: H2O
- H: 2 x 1.008 = 2.016 g/mol (11.1907 % by mass)
- O: 1 x 15.999 = 15.999 g/mol (88.8093 % by mass)
- Molar mass = 18.015 g/mol
- n = m / M = 10 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.55509298 mol

What the mass of mole calculator calculates
Computes molar mass, monoisotopic (exact) mass and percent composition from a chemical formula, including hydrates and ions, and converts between grams and moles.
How to use this mass of mole calculator
Enter Chemical formula, Sample mass and Report the hydrate breakdown. Molar mass updates as you type. Change one figure at a time to see what drives the result.
How the result is worked out
Open “How this is worked out” beside the result for the step-by-step calculation behind Molar mass, Monoisotopic (exact) mass and Formula as parsed.
The method follows IUPAC Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights - Standard Atomic Weights (abridged, five significant figures), Prohaska et al., Standard atomic weights of the elements 2021 (IUPAC Technical Report), Pure and Applied Chemistry 94(5) 573-600, NIST Atomic Weights and Isotopic Compositions with Relative Atomic Masses (AME2020 nuclide masses) and OpenStax Chemistry 2e, section 3.1 Formula Mass and the Mole Concept.
What you can compare
Change one input at a time to see how it affects Molar mass, Monoisotopic (exact) mass and Formula as parsed. The inputs you can vary are Chemical formula, Sample mass and Report the hydrate breakdown.
Understanding Molar mass, Monoisotopic (exact) mass and Formula as parsed
Masses use the IUPAC/CIAAW abridged standard atomic weights. Check the parsed formula shown in the result before using these figures for reagent preparation, dosing or regulatory reporting.
Results are general information, not financial, tax, legal, medical or engineering advice. Check any decision that matters with a qualified professional.
