Enter the mass of the element (g/mol) and the mass of the compound (g/mol) into the Mass Ratio Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Mass Ratio.
Mass Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Mass Ratio.
MAR = ME / MC *100
- Where MAR is the Mass Ratio (%)
- ME is the mass of the element (g/mol)
- MC is the mass of the compound (g/mol)
How to Calculate Mass Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Mass Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the mass of the element (g/mol).
- The mass of the element (g/mol) is given as: 3.25.
- Next, determine the mass of the compound (g/mol).
- The mass of the compound (g/mol) is provided as: 4.00.
- Finally, calculate the Mass Ratio using the equation above:
MAR = ME / MC *100
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
MAR = 3.25 / 4 *100 = 81.25 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
mass of the element (g/mol) = 6
mass of the compound (g/mol) = 7
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
MAR = ME / MC *100 = ?
