Molecular Weight Calculator

Estimate molar mass by parsing a chemical formula and summing standard atomic weights for each element and subscript. Parentheses and nested groups are supported; charges, isotope notation, hydrates, and ambiguous informal names should be entered as explicit formulas or handled by a chemistry reference.

How molecular weight is calculated

Estimate molar mass by parsing a chemical formula and summing standard atomic weights for each element and subscript. Parentheses and nested groups are supported; charges, isotope notation, hydrates, and ambiguous informal names should be entered as explicit formulas or handled by a chemistry reference. H2O is approximately 18.015 g/mol. The calculation validates each input and keeps its stated units explicit. No. Enter a chemical formula such as H2O. This is an estimate for the stated assumptions; confirm measurements and any applicable professional or local standards before relying on it.

Molecular Weight Calculator is calculated from the supplied measurement fields using the units shown.
A worked example

H2O is approximately 18.015 g/mol.

Assumptions & useful context

The result depends on the values you enter and the method described above. Displayed numbers may be rounded; calculations use the unrounded values. Check that this model matches your situation before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it accept names like water?

No. Enter a chemical formula such as H2O.

Are atomic weights exact?

They are standard conventional values; isotope composition can change a real sample’s molar mass.
