Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a chemical element or chemical compound. In SI, the unit is kg/mol. The molar mass can be obtained from the relative molecular mass (still often called erroneously molecular weight and abbreviated by MW) multiplying it by 0.001 kg/mol. |

The molecular weight of sugar is 342 and that means there are 342 grams per mole. Its that simple! Why confuse things so tremendously by introducing the obscure Dalton unit and molar mass versus molecular mass?? Wikipedia isn't meant to be read only by PhD physicists and chemists ... it is also meant to be read by us mere mortal masses. - [[User:Mbeychok|mbeychok]] 20:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC) |

molar mass
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a chemical element or chemical compound. In SI, the unit is kg/mol. The molar mass can be obtained from the relative molecular mass (still often called erroneously molecular weight and abbreviated by MW) multiplying it by 0.001 kg/mol.
