- H = 1.01
- C = 12.01
- N = 14.01
- O = 16.00
- F = 19.00

To find the molar mass, we:
1. Identify all elements in the compound.
2. Count how many atoms of each element are present (including subscripts and parentheses).
3. Multiply each atomic mass by the number of atoms.
4. Add them together.
For example, in (NH₄)₂SO₄:
- Two NH₄⁺ ions → 2 N and 8 H
- One SO₄²⁻ → 1 S and 4 O
- So total: 2N + 8H + 1S + 4O
This method applies to all compounds.
