1. What is Molar Mass?

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It's a fundamental concept in chemistry for converting between mass and number of particles.

2. Silver's Molar Mass

The molar mass of silver (Ag) is:

This value comes from the weighted average of all naturally occurring isotopes of silver.

3. Importance of Molar Mass

Details: Knowing the molar mass allows chemists to measure exact amounts of substances for reactions, calculate solution concentrations, and determine empirical formulas.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the mass of silver in grams to calculate the corresponding number of moles. The calculation uses the standard molar mass of silver (107.868 g/mol).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is silver's molar mass not a whole number?
A: The molar mass accounts for all naturally occurring isotopes of silver and their relative abundances.

Q2: How precise is this molar mass value?
A: The value 107.868 g/mol is the IUPAC recommended value with uncertainty in the last decimal place.

Q3: Does this work for silver compounds?
A: No, this is only for elemental silver. Silver compounds have different molar masses.

Q4: Can I calculate atoms from moles?
A: Yes, multiply moles by Avogadro's number (6.022×10²³) to get number of atoms.

Q5: Why is molar mass important in stoichiometry?
A: It allows conversion between mass and moles, which is essential for balanced chemical equations.
