The formula weight of a molecule is determined by the elements that make up the molecule. For example, if you have H20, the weight of the molecule will be determined by multiplying the number of hydrogens (2) times the weight of the hydrogen element (1.008 grams) so this would equal 2.016 grams. Now the weight of one oxygen is 16 grams. Add the two together and you have your formula weight of the molecule equal to 18.016 grams.
Basically, you break everything down into it's elemental form and determine the weights of each individual element and then multiply it by the number of each element in your molecule.

What is HRMS weight?
High resolution mass spectrometry weight. It is used to narrow down the molecular formula of an unknown molecule.
Does the chemical formula P2O5 represent a molecule or a formula unit?
Molecule
What is the chemical formula for the molecule?
A molecule contain two or more atoms of chemical elements; each molecule has a specific formula.
What is the formula for ozone?
The formula weight for O3 is the same as the molecular weight which is taking all the elements, multiplying its mass, and then adding the products. Oxygen's mass is 16 g on the periodic table & there's three of them so: 16x3= 48 g (molecular weight) = This is your Formula weight. Hope that helped.
Is molecular weight the same as mass?
Technically... not really. It would perhaps be more accurate to use the terms formula mass and molecular mass rather than formula weight and molecular weight. This because in physical terms, weight is a force while mass is a measure of the amount of substance in something.
How would we determine the molecular weight for a molecule water h2o?
You add together the atomic weights of all the atoms (as given by its chemical formula) in the molecule
What is HRMS weight?
High resolution mass spectrometry weight. It is used to narrow down the molecular formula of an unknown molecule.
Determine the formula weight of nitric acid?
Formula mass HNO3 : 63.012 g/mol
The average relative mass of an ozone molecule is 48.0 you. An ozone molecule contains only oxygen atoms. What does this molecular weight indicate about the formula of the ozone molecule?
The ozone molecule (O3) has 3 oxygen atoms.
Does the chemical formula P2O5 represent a molecule or a formula unit?
Molecule
What is the formula for carbon and chlorine?
the chemical formula for carbon is C and for chlorine is Cl.

it is a formula unit
Explain the difference between molecule and formula unit?
The formula unit is the representation of a molecule.
