How 90.034 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oxygen | 4 | 15.999 | 63.996 | 71.08% |
| Carbon | 2 | 12.011 | 24.022 | 26.68% |
| Hydrogen | 2 | 1.008 | 2.016 | 2.24% |
| Total | 8 | 90.034 | 100% |
M = 4 × 15.999 + 2 × 12.011 + 2 × 1.008 = 90.034 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Oxalic acid?
The molar mass of Oxalic acid (H2C2O4) is 90.034 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 8 atoms in one formula unit: 4 × 15.999 + 2 × 12.011 + 2 × 1.008 = 90.034.
What is the molecular weight of Oxalic acid?
90.034 — 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 90.03 and a molar mass of 90.03 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Oxalic acid?
100 ÷ 90.034 = 1.1107 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Oxalic acid?
By mass, Oxalic acid is 71.08% oxygen, 26.68% carbon, 2.24% hydrogen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 90.034.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Oxalic acid?
8: 4 oxygen, 2 carbon, 2 hydrogen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Oxalic acid contains 8 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
