Molar mass Molar mass In chemistry, the molar mass "M" is a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by the amount of substance. The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol. However, for historical reasons, molar masses are almost always expressed in g/mol. In simple terms, molar mass of a substance is the total weight of that substance (in either kilogram or gram) for one mole of that substance. That is, the weight of a substance for 6.02214076×10^23 molecules or atoms of that substance. As an example, the molar mass of
The Net (substance) The Net (substance) The Net, in alchemy, is an alloy of copper and iron, whose crystal structure induces a network pattern on its surface.
