Molar Mass of Hydrofluoric acid
HF — 20.006 g/mol, worked out element by element.
Molar mass of Hydrofluoric acid, HF
20.006 g/mol
Molecular weight 20.006 · 2 atoms per formula unit
Also known as: hf.
A weak acid that nonetheless etches glass, because fluoride attacks silicon rather than donating protons well.
How 20.006 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fluorine | 1 | 18.998 | 18.998 | 94.96% |
| Hydrogen | 1 | 1.008 | 1.008 | 5.04% |
| Total | 2 | 20.006 | 100% |
M = 1 × 18.998 + 1 × 1.008 = 20.006 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Hydrofluoric acid?
The molar mass of Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is 20.006 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 2 atoms in one formula unit: 1 × 18.998 + 1 × 1.008 = 20.006.
What is the molecular weight of Hydrofluoric acid?
20.006 — 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 20.01 and a molar mass of 20.01 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Hydrofluoric acid?
100 ÷ 20.006 = 4.9985 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Hydrofluoric acid?
By mass, Hydrofluoric acid is 94.96% fluorine, 5.04% hydrogen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 20.006.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Hydrofluoric acid?
2: 1 fluorine, 1 hydrogen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Hydrofluoric acid contains 2 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
