Does 'molar mass' include an atomic weight for single atom?

AI Thread Summary
Molar mass refers to the mass of one mole of any entities, including atoms and molecules. It is a crucial concept for calculating the number of moles in a given mass of a substance. For example, the molar mass of water (H2O) is 18 g/mol. Given 18 g of water, one can calculate that this amount corresponds to 1 mole of water molecules. Additionally, since each water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms, this also results in 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. Thus, 18 g of water contains 1 mole of water and 2 moles of hydrogen.

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.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
