How 136.280 g/mol is worked out
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass | Mass | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chlorine | 2 | 35.45 | 70.900 | 52.03% |
| Zinc | 1 | 65.38 | 65.380 | 47.97% |
| Total | 3 | 136.280 | 100% |
M = 2 × 35.450 + 1 × 65.380 = 136.280 g/mol

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Zinc chloride?
The molar mass of Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) is 136.280 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 3 atoms in one formula unit: 2 × 35.450 + 1 × 65.380 = 136.280.
What is the molecular weight of Zinc chloride?
136.280 — 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 136.28 and a molar mass of 136.28 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Zinc chloride?
100 ÷ 136.280 = 0.7338 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Zinc chloride?
By mass, Zinc chloride is 52.03% chlorine, 47.97% zinc. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 136.280.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Zinc chloride?
3: 2 chlorine, 1 zinc. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Zinc chloride contains 3 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
