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
International System of Quantities are included in Table 8 of non-SI units that are approved for use in "Chapter 4 – Units outside the SI". The ISQ recognizes another logarithmic quantity: information entropy, for which the coherent unit is the natural unit of information (symbol nat). International System of Quantities The International System of Quantities (ISQ) is a system based on seven base quantities: length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. Other quantities such as area, pressure, and electrical resistance are derived from these base quantities by clear, non-contradictory equations. The ISQ defines the quantities that are measured
