In this lesson we will learn how to find the molar mass of an element or compound!
The molar mass tells you the mass of one mole of a substance.
For pure, monatomic elements, the molar mass is equal to the relative atomic mass.
For compounds, the molar mass can be calculated by adding up the relative atomic masses of each of the atoms in the compound.
In the periodic table, the relative atomic mass is the small number at the bottom of the element square.
Tips
If there is a subscript in a compound indicating that there are multiple atoms of a given element, don't forget to multiply the relative atomic mass of that element by that number!
