how to find the molecular mass of elements?

   Each element has its own atomic mass noted at the bottom of its square in the periodic table. 

  All elements have the same molar mass as the atomic masses on the periodic table.

   For example, if you want to find the molar mass of carbon, you would find the atomic mass of carbon on the periodic table, and this is equal to the molecular mass in grams per mole. So, in our example, carbon has a molecular mass of 12.01 grams per mole.
