Best Answer

The molecular weight is found by adding the atomic masses of all of the atoms that form the molecule. Example: sulfuric acid, H2SO4:

H 1.01 x 2 = 2.02

S 32.07 x 1 = 32.07

O 16.00 x 4 = 64.00

98.07, the molecular wt of sulfuric acid

Molecular weight is just an older term for molar mass. They are the same.


Why do you need a molecular weight ruler alongside your samples during electrophoresis?

A molecular weight ruler uses a sample of fragments of a known size (known as a molecular weight marker) to be placed alongside the experimental and control samples. It helps compare the migration distance of the experimental fragments to the migrating distance of the fragments of a known size that make up the molecular weight marker. Then the scientist can calculate an approx. size of their experimental samples.


How to calculate empirial formula from molecular formula?

Calculate the empirical formula weight. Find the ratio of the molecular weight to the empirical formula weight. (n= molecular weight/ empirical formular weight). Multiply each subscript of the empirical formula by n.


How many moles in NaCHO3?

A mole is a defined number of atoms/molecules of an element/compound. Therefore, the number of moles of NaCHO3 will depend on the mass of NaCHO3 that you have. To calculate the number of moles in a known sample, divide the mass of the sample (in grams) by the molecular weight.
