Molar Mass is the general name used for the mass of a 1 mole of substance (i.e. element, compound, etc). For example, the molar mass of an element is calculated the Atomic mass (that can be obtained from the Periodic Table) or the Molecular Weight (the mass of 1 mole of a molecular compound. |

As an analogue, you only know the mass of a fruit basket if you know the mass of each fruit and how many of them they are. It is the same calculation for finding the mass of 1 mole of a compound know the subscripts of each atom/ion and atomic mass of the element. |

Below, you will find an example of the calculations with all units so that all units will cancel correctly, then what I expect you to write for all molar mass calculations and then the special case when you have Chlorine (with an odd subscript).
