Formula Used
M(H2O) = 2 × M(H) + 1 × M(O) = 2 × 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015 g/mol
Moles = Mass ÷ 18.015
Mass = Moles × 18.015
Molecules = Moles × 6.02214076 × 10^23

Understanding the H2O Molar Mass
Water is one of chemistry’s most familiar compounds. Its formula is H2O. Each molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
A molar mass converts molecular composition into grams per mole. This calculator uses standard atomic masses for both elements. Hydrogen contributes about 1.008 grams per mole per atom.
Oxygen contributes about 15.999 grams per mole per atom. Two hydrogen atoms therefore contribute about 2.016 grams per mole. Adding oxygen gives approximately 18.015 grams per mole.
How the H2O Formula Is Calculated
The molar mass formula is simple for water. Multiply each atomic mass by its atom count. Then add every elemental contribution together.
For H2O the hydrogen count equals two atoms. The oxygen count equals one atom. The calculation becomes two times 1.008 plus 15.999.
The resulting molar mass is about 18.015 grams per mole. Mass and moles are directly connected through molar mass. Divide grams by molar mass to calculate moles.
Converting Water Mass and Moles
Multiply moles by molar mass to calculate grams. They also support stoichiometry and solution calculations. This tool performs both conversions using entered values.
It can convert molecules using Avogadro’s constant. One mole contains approximately 6.02214076 times ten to twenty-third molecules. Water also has a useful elemental percentage composition.
Hydrogen contributes about 11.19 percent of total molar mass. Oxygen contributes about 88.81 percent of total molar mass. These percentages come from each element’s molar contribution.
Elemental Composition of Water
Percentage composition helps compare elemental mass within compounds. It is useful for analytical chemistry and formula verification. The calculator displays both values alongside the elemental breakdown.
