FAQ

What is the molar mass of C?

M(C) = 12.011 g/mol

How is the molar mass of carbon different from its atomic weight?

Only in units: the relative atomic mass Ar(C) = 12.011 has no unit, and the molar mass M(C) = 12.011 g/mol is the mass of one mole of atoms (6.022 × 10²³ of them).

How many grams are in 2 moles of C?

m = n × M = 2 mol × 12.011 g/mol = 24.022 g.
