Molar Mass Name ________________

Chem Worksheet 11-2


The term mole is used in chemistry as a method for counting or grouping atoms. In the same way
that a dozen is used to count eggs, the mole is used for counting very tiny particles such as atoms and
molecules. The mass of an object is related to its weight. Masses are reported in grams. The mass of a
mole of atoms is called the molar mass. A mole of carbon atoms is 12.0 grams while a mole of oxygen
atoms is 16.0 grams.
Name Symbol Molar Mass
Molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2)
carbon atom C 12.01 g/mol

oxygen atom O 16.00 g/mol


Molar mass Molar mass oxygen molecule O2 32.00 g/mol

12.01 g/mol + 2 × 16.00 g/mol potassium nitrate KNO3 101.11 g/mol
