Hi,
how are molar mass and molecular weight different? Or are these terms interchangeable?

Hi, molar mass refers to the weight of a mole of a particular substance, but molecular weight is the mass of a molecule of a substance.

molar mass refers to how much one mole of a substance is, vs molecular weight is how much one molecule weighs. Because there's usually a lot of molecules in one mole.
