I do not understand your question. Molar mass simply represent the mass of one mole of entities. These entities could be anything: atoms, molecules, whatever...

I got my answer. Thanks a lot.
 
For example: mass of water is given and amounts to 18 g. Calculate the number of moles for water molecules, and calculate the number of moles for hydrogen atoms.
Answer:
m (H2O) = 18 g
n (H2O) = ?
n (H) = ?
-------------------------------------

n (H2O) = m (H2O) / M(H2O) = 18 g / 18 g mol-1 = 1 mol

n (H) = m (H) / M(H) = 2 g / 1 g mol-1 = 2 mol

So, the answer is: 18 g of water contain 1 mol of water and 2 moles of hydrogen.
