LiOH (Lithium hydroxide) Molar Mass (With Calculations)

LiOH (Lithium hydroxide) Molar Mass

Molar mass of LiOH (Lithium hydroxide) is 23.947 g/mol.

Well, now you have come to know the molar mass of LiOH.

But how can you get this value?

Let me show you the calculation to get the molar mass of LiOH (Lithium hydroxide).

If you are a visual learner like me, then here is a short one minute video for you.

LiOH (Lithium hydroxide) Molar Mass Calculation

If you have a periodic table with you, then you can easily calculate the molar mass of LiOH (Lithium hydroxide).

Because the molar mass of any molecule (or compound) can be calculated by simply adding the molar masses of individual atoms.

Now here we have to find the molar mass of LiOH (Lithium hydroxide).

So for that, have a look at the periodic table given below.

You can see the molar mass value of all the atoms from this periodic table.

Now in LiOH, there is 1 Lithium atom, 1 Oxygen atom and 1 Hydrogen atom.

So let’s look at the molar mass of Lithium, Oxygen and Hydrogen from the above periodic table.

You can see that;

The molar mass of Lithium is 6.94 g/mol. [1]

The molar mass of Oxygen is 15.999 g/mol. [2]

The molar mass of Hydrogen is 1.008 g/mol. [3]

Now, to calculate the molar mass of LiOH, you just have to add the molar mass of all the individual atoms that are present in LiOH.

You can see that in LiOH, there is 1 Lithium atom, 1 Oxygen atom and 1 Hydrogen atom.

So, Molar mass of LiOH = Molar mass of 1 Lithium (Li) atom + Molar mass of 1 Oxygen (O) atom + Molar mass of 1 Hydrogen (H) atom.
= 6.94 + 15.999 + 1.008
= 23.947 g/mol

Hence the Molar mass of LiOH is 23.947 g/mol.

I hope you have understood the short and simple calculation for finding the molar mass of LiOH.

Remember

  • In some books, you may see the unit of molar mass as grams/mole or g/mole. But all these units (i.e g/mol, grams/mole and g/mole) are the same. 
  • Always follow the calculation order to avoid any mistakes in calculation. First solve the brackets, then multiplications and at last do the final addition.
  • And don’t forget to put the unit g/mol to your final calculated molar mass.
