Molar Mass of H₂SO₄
Sulfuric acid. A diprotic strong acid: each molecule can release two H⁺ ions.
Molar mass of H2SO4
98.077 g/mol
2 × 1.008 + 1 × 32.065 + 4 × 15.999 = 98.077
Calculation, element by element
| Element | Atoms | Atomic mass (g/mol) | Subtotal | Mass % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen (H) | 2 | 1.008 | 2.016 | 2.06% |
| Sulfur (S) | 1 | 32.065 | 32.065 | 32.69% |
| Oxygen (O) | 4 | 15.999 | 63.996 | 65.25% |
| Total | 98.077 | 100% |
= 0.10196 mol = 6.1402 × 1022 formula units
H₂SO₄ molar mass FAQ
What is the molar mass of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)?
98.077 g/mol. It is the sum of the atomic masses of every atom in the formula: 2 × 1.008 + 1 × 32.065 + 4 × 15.999 = 98.077 g/mol.
How many grams are in one mole of H₂SO₄?
98.077 g. Molar mass is the mass of one mole (6.022 × 10²³ formula units), so 1 mol of H₂SO₄ weighs 98.077 g and 0.5 mol weighs 49.038 g.
How many moles are in 10 g of H₂SO₄?
10 g ÷ 98.077 g/mol = 0.1020 mol.
What is the percent composition of H₂SO₄?
Hydrogen 2.06%, Sulfur 32.69%, Oxygen 65.25%.
Is molecular weight the same as molar mass for H₂SO₄?
Numerically yes: the molecular (or formula) weight is 98.077 u per formula unit, and the molar mass is 98.077 g/mol.
