Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
molar mass is defined as
A
the number of particles in 1 mole of a substance
B
SI base unit that describes the amount of a substance
C
amount of a substance necessary to have a positive charge
D
the mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass of 1 mol of that substance, expressed in grams per mole, and is equal to the mass of 6.022 × 10 23 atoms, molecules, or formula units of that substance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Molar mass is the mass of a given substance divided by the amount of that substance, measured in g/mol. For example, the atomic mass of titanium is 47.88 amu or 47.88 g/mol. In 47.88 grams of titanium, there is one mole, or 6.022 x 1023 titanium atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mass of a mole of substance is called the molar mass of that substance. The molar mass is used to convert grams of a substance to moles and is used often in chemistry. The molar mass of an element is found on the periodic table, and it is the element’s atomic weight in grams/mole (g/mol).

Detailed explanation-4: -Why use 12 grams? This is the theoretical atomic mass of the Carbon-12 isotope (6 protons and 6 neutrons). This means that the atomic mass or atomic weight (12 grams) of carbon is equal to exactly 1 mole of carbon.

Detailed explanation-5: -Molar mass M is the mass of a chemical compound divided by its amount-of-substance measured in moles. It is defined as MB = m/nB, where m is the total mass of a sample of pure substance and nB is the amount of substance B given in moles. The definition applies to pure substance.
