How the Molecular Weight Calculator Works
This calculator determines the molar mass (molecular weight) of a compound by parsing its chemical formula and summing the standard atomic weights of its constituent elements.
- Input: Enter a valid chemical formula. Remember that element symbols are case-sensitive (e.g., Co is Cobalt, but CO is Carbon Monoxide).
- Parsing: The calculator correctly handles subscripts (like the 2 in H2O) and parentheses with multipliers (like Ca(OH)2).
- Output: It provides the total molar mass in g/mol, along with a detailed breakdown of each element's percentage composition by mass.
