Wat is molecuulgewicht?

Molecular weight (also called molar mass) is the total mass of one mole of a compound, calculated by summing the atomic weights of every atom in its chemical formula. It is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol) and is fundamental to converting between mass and moles in stoichiometry, solution preparation, and analytical chemistry.

Formule

Moleculair gewicht: MW = Σ (Atomic Weight × Count)

Mass %: % = (Element Mass / MW) × 100

Common Molecular Weights

• H₂O (water) = 18,015 g/mol

• CO₂ (kooldioxide) = 44,009 g/mol

• NaCl (tafelzout) = 58,443 g/mol

• C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose) = 180.156 g/mol

• Ca(OH)₂ (Calciumhydroxide) = 74,093 g/mol

• C₈H₁₀N₄O₂ (cafeïne) = 194,190 g/mol

• C₂H₅OH (ethanol) = 46,069 g/mol

Belangrijke opmerkingen

  • Element symbols are case-sensitive: Na (sodium) vs NA (invalid).
  • Parentheses must be properly balanced.
  • Atoomgewichten zijn IUPAC-standaardwaarden.
  • Mass percentages always sum to 100%.
