How 95.205 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chlorine | 2 | 35.45 | 70.900 | 74.47% |
| Magnesium | 1 | 24.305 | 24.305 | 25.53% |
| Total | 3 | 95.205 | 100% |
M = 2 × 35.450 + 1 × 24.305 = 95.205 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Magnesium chloride?
The molar mass of Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is 95.205 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 3 atoms in one formula unit: 2 × 35.450 + 1 × 24.305 = 95.205.
What is the molecular weight of Magnesium chloride?
95.205 — 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 95.21 and a molar mass of 95.21 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Magnesium chloride?
100 ÷ 95.205 = 1.0504 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Magnesium chloride?
By mass, Magnesium chloride is 74.47% chlorine, 25.53% magnesium. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 95.205.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Magnesium chloride?
3: 2 chlorine, 1 magnesium. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Magnesium chloride contains 3 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
