Chemical Formula Calculator

How to Use the Chemical Formula Calculator

Step 1: Select Elements

Select the first element for your chemical formula from the dropdown menu labeled Element 1. This menu provides a list of available elements you can choose from, including Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Sodium (Na), and Chlorine (Cl).

Once you have selected the first element, proceed to the second dropdown menu labeled Element 2 to select the second element for your formula. This menu contains the same list of elements as the first.

Step 2: Specify Number of Atoms

After selecting the elements, input the number of atoms for each selected element. Under the label Number of Atoms (Element 1), enter a number indicating how many atoms of the first element are present. You must enter a whole number between 1 and 99.

Similarly, enter the number of atoms for the second element under the label Number of Atoms (Element 2). Make sure the number is also between 1 and 99.

Step 3: Calculate Results

After you have entered the required information for both elements and their respective number of atoms, the calculator will automatically compute and display the results below.

• Molecular Formula: The calculator will create and display the molecular formula using the selected elements and their corresponding number of atoms. The format will be Element1 Number1 Element2 Number2 (e.g., H2O).
• Molecular Weight: The molecular weight of the compound will be calculated and displayed in grams per mole (g/mol), rounded to three decimal places.

You can now use these results as needed for your analyses or further calculations.
