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
Entropy entropy, have dimensions of energy divided by temperature, which has a unit of joules per kelvin (J K) in the International System of Units (or kg m s K in terms of base units). The entropy of a substance is usually given as an intensive property—either entropy per unit mass (SI unit: J K kg) or entropy per unit amount of substance (SI unit: J K mol). The French mathematician Lazare Carnot proposed in his 1803 paper "Fundamental Principles of Equilibrium and Movement" that in any machine the accelerations and shocks of the moving parts represent losses of "moment of
