Molecular weight calculator

I decided to write this to help calculate molar weights for chemistry.

molweight

In essence you can enter the Mass of an element or molecular mass of a substance, compound etc, and this will help give you molar weight, for example 0.5 mol.

It is, for example common to have different concentrations of an acid for example. We know that Sodium Hydroxide has a weight of 40 because of the combined weight of its components:

$NaOH$ which equates to

Na = 22 + O = 16 + H = 1 = 39

Therefore 1 mol of NaOH = 39g which is of course equal to Avogadros constant : $6.022 x 10^{23}$

Therefore 0.5 mol is roughly $39 \div 2 = 19.5g$

This program is NOT a substitute for proper calculation. You need to use more accurate values. Values used are just a rough guide.

However it may be useful, for those quick calculations.

The program code base is taken from my Drake equation calculator I made a few weeks ago.
