It is calculated as the sum of the atomic weights of each constituent element multiplied by the number of atoms of that element in the molecular formula. The molecular mass of small to medium size molecules, measured by mass spectrometry, determines stoichiometry.

molecular mass
Listen to pronunciation. (muh-LEH-kyoo-ler mas) The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule, based on a scale in which the atomic masses of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are 1, 12, 14, and 16, respectively..
importance of molecular mass
Molar mass is of great importance when setting up an experiment. If you are testing principles involving specific amounts of a substance, the molar mass allows you to figure out how much you should weigh out on your scale. As an example, consider an experiment calling for 2 moles of pure carbon.
