Definition of Molar Mass



In the field of chemistry, the mass of a compound divided by the amount of substance is termed the molar mass. It is also known as the molecular mass and formula mass when the molecular compounds and ionic compounds are concerned respectively.

 


According to SI, the molar mass is measured in the units of grams/moles (g/mol). The molar mass of any entity is calculated from the standard atomic weights. Moreover, the molar mass is independent of the size of the sample as it is an intensive property of a substance.
