Molar Mass

Molar mass some times called molecular weight MW is the mass of a molecule. It is calculated as the sum of the atomic masses of each constituent element or group of elements multiplied by the number of it in the molecular formula.
Some formulas are quite simple CaCO3 but there are complex formulas such as Co3[Fe(CN)6]2.4NH3.6H2 and some organic compound is much complex.

Chemical Formula

is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses

Empirical formula

In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound

Mole in Chemistry

The mole (symbol: mol) is the base unit of amount of substance (“number of substance”) in the International System of Units or System International (SI), defined as exactly 6.022 140 76 × 10^23 particles of entities (atoms, molecules, ions or electrons …)

Using the Excel Sheet

Download and open Excel file and edit it as needed. The mass will be updated once the formula changes
to calculate a formula in a cell, just type something like this =MW("CaCO3").

Formula	Molecular Weight
CuSO4	159.6
CaCO3	100.1
Co3[Fe(CN)6]2 . 4NH3 . 6H2O	776.9
2Na2CO3 . 3H2O2	314.0
Na2CO3 . 1.5H2O2	157.0
NaBO2 . H2O2 . 3H2O	153.9

A concise 1-paragraph abstract

In this article, we will explain how to write a pure Excel VBA macro to calculate Molecular Weight or Molecular Mass Calculator of a chemical formula. We go over how we store elements masses in a normal VBA keyed collection. The calculation is done via pure VB code without any additional reference or library with extremely simple code.

Calculating Molar Mass

In this article, we will explain how to write a pure Excel VBA macro to calculate Molecular Weight or Molecular Mass Calculator of a chemical formula.

The calculation is done via pure VB code without any additional reference or library with extremely simple code
Error handler and line numbering is added to simplify debugging the code.

How It Works

First of all, we store elements masses in a normal VBA keyed collection.

Private Sub SetAtomicMass()
        On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
1       Call Masses.Add(1.00794!, "H")
2       Call Masses.Add(4.002602!, "He")
3       Call Masses.Add(6.941!, "Li")
4       Call Masses.Add(9.012182!, "Be")
5       Call Masses.Add(10.811!, "B")
Rem and so on to
118     Call Masses.Add(294, "Og")
        Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
        Debug.Print ("Error in: MMW.SetAtomicMass." & Erl & vbNewLine & Err.Description)
        Debug.Assert (False)
        Call MsgBox("Error in: MMW.SetAtomicMass." & Erl & vbNewLine & Err.Description)
End Sub

To calculate mass of NaBO2 . H2O2 . 3H2O, we split it into part, NaBO2 , H2O2 , 3H2O.
We split each part like H2O into groups H2 and O.
Calculate the mass of each group and add them together to get the total mass.

Parts = Split(GetParts(Formula), ", ")
For Each Part In Parts
    PartCount = GetPartCount(Part)
    PartSymbol = GetPartSymbol(Part)
    PartMass = 0
    Groups = Split(GetGroups(PartSymbol), ", ")
    For Each Group In Groups
        GroupCount = GetGroupCount(Group)
        GroupSymbol = GetGroupSymbol(Group)
        SymbolMass = GetSymbolMass(GroupSymbol)
        If SymbolMass = 0 Then
            MolecularWeight = 0
            Exit Function
        End If
        GroupMass = GroupCount * SymbolMass
        PartMass = PartMass + GroupMass
    Next
    PartMass = PartCount * PartMass
    Mass = Mass + PartMass
Next
MolecularWeight = Mass
