= Exact Molar mass of estradiol

Moles in the sample mass: 0.036 712 337 mol
Mass of that amount of substance: 272.388
Molecules in the sample mass: 2.21087e+22

Show the working

Mass of sample = 10
Amount of substance = 1
Molar mass = 12.011*18 + 1.008*24 + 15.999*2 = 272.388
Moles in the sample mass = 10 / 272.388 = 0.036 712 3
Mass of that amount of substance = 1 * 272.388 = 272.388
Molecules in the sample mass = 0.036 712 3 * NA = 2.21087e+22

Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.

The formula

Molar mass = sum over elements of (atomic weight x number of atoms)
For C₁₈H₂₄O₂: 12.011 x 18 + 1.008 x 24 + 15.999 x 2 = 272.388 g/mol
Moles = mass / molar mass; mass = moles x molar mass
Molecules = moles x 6.02214076 x 10^23 (the Avogadro constant, exact by definition)

Molar mass in grams per mole is numerically equal to the molecular mass in daltons, so this figure doubles as the molecular weight.

Atomic weights are the IUPAC 2021 standard values. Several elements have a range rather than a single value because isotope ratios vary between sources; the conventional single value is used here.

Composition by mass

Element	Atoms	Atomic weight	Contribution (g/mol)	Share of mass
Carbon (C)	18	12.011	216.198	79.371 %
Oxygen (O)	2	15.999	31.998	11.747 %
Hydrogen (H)	24	1.008	24.192	8.8814 %

Contributions add to the molar mass of 272.388 g/mol. Atomic weights are the IUPAC 2021 standard values.

Frequently asked

What is the molar mass of estradiol?

272.388 g/mol, for the formula C₁₈H₂₄O₂.

How do you convert grams of estradiol to moles?

Divide the mass in grams by 272.388 g/mol. One gram of estradiol is 0.00367123 mol.

How many grams are in one mole of estradiol?
