FAQ

What is the molar mass of H?

M(H) = 1.0080 g/mol

Why is the molar mass of hydrogen 1.0080 and not 2?

1.0080 g/mol is the mass of one mole of H atoms. Elemental hydrogen is made of H₂ molecules: M(H₂) = 2 × 1.0080 = 2.0160 g/mol (2 in school problems); in SI units, 0.0020160 kg/mol. In a problem about the gas, the molar mass of hydrogen is usually M(H₂).

How many grams are in 2 moles of H?

m = n × M = 2 mol × 1.0080 g/mol = 2.0160 g.
