How To Calculate Mass Of Molecules?

Write the chemical formula of the molecule

Find the atomic mass of each element in the formula

Multiply each atomic mass by the number of atoms of that element

Add all the results to get the molecular mass in atomic mass units

Convert molecular mass to mass in grams using Avogadro’s number if needed

Use the formula: mass of one molecule = molar mass ÷ Avogadro’s number

Use the formula: mass of n molecules = n × mass of one molecule

Keep units consistent throughout the calculation
