g
Enter limiting-reactant mass in g.
g/mol
Enter reactant molar mass in g/mol.
Enter reactant coefficient.
Enter product coefficient.
g/mol
Enter product molar mass in g/mol.

Formula

product mass=(reactant mass/reactant molar mass) × (product coefficient/reactant coefficient) × product molar mass.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Balanced-reaction coefficients and an already identified limiting reactant are required. Assumes complete conversion and 100% selectivity.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Limiting-reactant mass: 10 g
  • Reactant molar mass: 20 g/mol
  • Reactant coefficient: 1
  • Product coefficient: 2
  • Product molar mass: 30 g/mol

10 g of a 20 g/mol reactant yielding two moles of 30 g/mol product per mole gives 30 g.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter limiting-reactant mass, reactant molar mass, reactant coefficient, product coefficient, product molar mass. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

product mass=(reactant mass/reactant molar mass) × (product coefficient/reactant coefficient) × product molar mass.. Balanced-reaction coefficients and an already identified limiting reactant are required. Assumes complete conversion and 100% selectivity.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
