How 62.024 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oxygen | 3 | 15.999 | 47.997 | 77.38% |
| Carbon | 1 | 12.011 | 12.011 | 19.37% |
| Hydrogen | 2 | 1.008 | 2.016 | 3.25% |
| Total | 6 | 62.024 | 100% |
M = 3 × 15.999 + 1 × 12.011 + 2 × 1.008 = 62.024 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Carbonic acid?
The molar mass of Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is 62.024 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 6 atoms in one formula unit: 3 × 15.999 + 1 × 12.011 + 2 × 1.008 = 62.024.
What is the molecular weight of Carbonic acid?
62.024 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 62.02 and a molar mass of 62.02 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Carbonic acid?
100 ÷ 62.024 = 1.6123 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Carbonic acid?
By mass, Carbonic acid is 77.38% oxygen, 19.37% carbon, 3.25% hydrogen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 62.024.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Carbonic acid?
6: 3 oxygen, 1 carbon, 2 hydrogen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Carbonic acid contains 6 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
