    Molar Mass Calculator
    Chemical formula

    What is the molar mass of MgSO4·7H2O?

    Answer

    M(MgSO4·7H2O) ≈
    246.47 g/mol

    Atomic weights: IUPAC standard values (CIAAW, 2024); the sum is rounded to the decimal places of the least precise one — S: 32.06.

    7 H2O — water of crystallization, part of the molar mass: 7 × 18.015 = 126.105.

    MgSO4·7H2O = MgSO4 + 7 H2O → Mg 1, S 1, O 11, H 14
