### What is the notation for molar mass?

We know that the notation for mass is m, molar quantity is n. What is the notation for molar mass?

Molar Mass is expressed as a capital letter M and should not be confused with molarity. Dr. Lavelle underlines the M for molarity to distinguish the two. The units for molar mass are g/mol. Hope this helped! :)

That's correct. The notation for molar mass is M. However, the notation for molarity is also M, so when a question has M in it, be sure you know which M it's referring to. If the units for it is g/mol, then it's referring to molar mass, whereas if the units are in mol/L, then it's referring to molarity.

The notation for molar mass is a capital M, just remember to pay attention to the units the molar mass unit is (g/mol).

How do we distinguish between M for molar mass and M for molarity?

g/mol is mass, mole/liter is Molarity. They both are represented as 'M,' however when im doing my practice or hw problems i just write mass as 'mm.'

If I'm not mistaken, molar mass is expressed as the capital letter M and the units are g/mol which is grams per mole.

Clarifying question, is g/mol the same as g.mol^-1 ?

I am pretty sure that it is just an uppercase M (g/mol).

Yes molar mass is just a capital M which always expressed in the units g/mol. It is the mass of a substance (in grams) divided by its particular amount (in mols).

Yes. To clarify, you are correct. g/mol is equivalent to writing g.mol^-1. The power of negative 1 refers to the fact that the g/mol has moles within the denominator.

in the textbook, it is grams/mol or g*mol^-1
