How 105.988 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oxygen | 3 | 15.999 | 47.997 | 45.29% |
| Sodium | 2 | 22.99 | 45.980 | 43.38% |
| Carbon | 1 | 12.011 | 12.011 | 11.33% |
| Total | 6 | 105.988 | 100% |
M = 3 × 15.999 + 2 × 22.990 + 1 × 12.011 = 105.988 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Sodium carbonate?
The molar mass of Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is 105.988 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 6 atoms in one formula unit: 3 × 15.999 + 2 × 22.990 + 1 × 12.011 = 105.988.
What is the molecular weight of Sodium carbonate?
105.988 — 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 105.99 and a molar mass of 105.99 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Sodium carbonate?
100 ÷ 105.988 = 0.9435 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Sodium carbonate?
By mass, Sodium carbonate is 45.29% oxygen, 43.38% sodium, 11.33% carbon. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 105.988.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Sodium carbonate?
6: 3 oxygen, 2 sodium, 1 carbon. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Sodium carbonate contains 6 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
