Frequently Asked Questions

What is the molar mass of Zinc oxide?

The molar mass of Zinc oxide (ZnO) is 81.379 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 2 atoms in one formula unit: 1 × 65.380 + 1 × 15.999 = 81.379.

What is the molecular weight of Zinc oxide?

81.379 — 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 81.38 and a molar mass of 81.38 g/mol are the same answer.

How many moles are in 100 g of Zinc oxide?

100 ÷ 81.379 = 1.2288 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 oxide?

By mass, Zinc oxide is 80.34% zinc, 19.66% oxygen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 81.379.

How many atoms are in one formula unit of Zinc oxide?

2: 1 zinc, 1 oxygen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Zinc oxide contains 2 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
