Formula Used
Selenium tetrachloride ($SeCl_4$) calculations rely on fundamental chemical formulas. The molar mass is calculated by summing the standard atomic weights of one selenium atom and four chlorine atoms:
$$M(SeCl_4) = Ar(Se) + 4 \times Ar(Cl)$$To convert between mass ($m$) and moles ($n$), we use the relationship:
$$n = \frac{m}{M(SeCl_4)}$$Molarity ($C$) is computed using the number of moles of solute divided by the solution volume ($V$) in liters:
$$C = \frac{n}{V}$$How to Use This Calculator
