How 46.005 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oxygen | 2 | 15.999 | 31.998 | 69.55% |
| Nitrogen | 1 | 14.007 | 14.007 | 30.45% |
| Total | 3 | 46.005 | 100% |
M = 2 × 15.999 + 1 × 14.007 = 46.005 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Nitrogen dioxide?
The molar mass of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is 46.005 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 3 atoms in one formula unit: 2 × 15.999 + 1 × 14.007 = 46.005.
What is the molecular weight of Nitrogen dioxide?
46.005 — 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 46.01 and a molar mass of 46.01 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Nitrogen dioxide?
100 ÷ 46.005 = 2.1737 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Nitrogen dioxide?
By mass, Nitrogen dioxide is 69.55% oxygen, 30.45% nitrogen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 46.005.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Nitrogen dioxide?
3: 2 oxygen, 1 nitrogen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Nitrogen dioxide contains 3 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
