Moles
  1. 1
    Moles required = molarity × volume
    n = 0.025 mol/L × 1 L = 0.02500 mol
  2. 2
    Mass = moles × molar mass
    m = 0.02500 mol × 203.3 g/mol = 5.083 g
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O, MW 203.3 g/mol). The hexahydrate is the bench-standard form; use 203.3 g/mol, not 95.2.

About How Much Magnesium Chloride (MgCl₂·6H₂O) to Weigh — Mass Calculator

Find the exact grams of Magnesium Chloride (MgCl₂·6H₂O) to weigh for a target molarity and volume. Stop guessing at the balance — enter the molarity you need and the volume to prepare. The calculation uses mass = M × volume(L) × MW. Why accuracy here pays off: Getting a concentration right is the difference between a reaction that works and one that quietly fails. Weigh-out and dilution errors are among the most common — and most costly — mistakes at the bench. Mistakes that trip people up: not bringing the solution to its final volume in a volumetric flask; forgetting to account for hydrate water in the molar mass; confusing % w/v with % w/w. No account, no upload, no tracking of your inputs — the result is generated on your machine, which makes it reproducible, private and citable in published work.
