<p>I decided to write this to help calculate molar weights for chemistry.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>It is, for example common to have different concentrations of an acid for example.  We know that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide" rel="nofollow">Sodium Hydroxide</a> has a weight of 40 because of the combined weight of its components:</p>

<p>$NaOH$ which equates to</p>

<p>Na = 22 +
O = 16 +
H = 1
= 39</p>

<p>Therefore 1 mol of NaOH = 39g which is of course equal to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant" rel="nofollow">Avogadros constant</a> : $6.022 x 10^{23}$</p>

<p>Therefore 0.5 mol is roughly $39 \div 2 = 19.5g$</p>

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

<p>However it may be useful, for those quick calculations.</p>

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