Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the unit for molar mass?
A
no unit
B
g
C
g mol-1
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The unit of molar mass is grams/mole.

Detailed explanation-2: -The units of molar mass are grams per mole, abbreviated as g/mol.

Detailed explanation-3: -The molar mass of a compound tells you the mass of 1 mole of that substance. In other words, it tells you the number of grams per mole of a compound. The units for molar mass are, therefore, grams/mole.

Detailed explanation-4: -In SI units, the molar mass is given by kg/mol, however by convention the molar mass is expressed in units of g/mol. The molar mass of any element or molecule is given by the sum of the atomic weights multiplied by 1 g/mol.

Detailed explanation-5: -For any element, its atomic mass in AMU is equal to the weight of 1 mole of the element in grams. For example, all natural isotopes of oxygen collectively have an atomic mass of 15.999 AMU, so one mole of oxygen weighs exactly 15.999 grams.
