In order to dissolve a compound to make a solution of a specified concentration, you need to know its molecular weight. Most compounds are sold in a pure (non-salt) free form and it is clear what the molecular weight is: but a salt chemical compound is sold in a salt form, which means that you need to calculate the effective molecular weight that takes into account the compound to salt weight ratio. We therefore strongly…

The newer and quicker ChemAxon’s Marvin JS editor has been available on our website for some time already and our users overwhelmingly favored it over the…
