The molecular mass or molecular weight is the total mass of a compound. It is equal to the sum of the individual atomic masses of each atom in the molecule. It is easy to find the molecular mass of a compound with these steps.
For example, to find the molecular mass of NH3, the first step is to look up the atomic masses of nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H). H = 1.00794, N = 14.0067
Next, multiple the atomic mass of each atom by the number of atoms in the compound.
There is 1 nitrogen atom (no subscript is given for one atom).
There are 3 hydrogen atoms, as indicated by the subscript.
molecular mass = (1 x 14.0067) + (3 x 1.00794) molecular mass = 14.0067 + 3.02382 molecular mass = 17.0305
