Use the atomic weights of the individual elements, and add them together. For instance, if I had water, H2O:
H - 1.01 g * 2 = 2.02 g
O - 16.00 g
So the molar mass of H2O would be 18.02 g/mol.
If I wanted to convert from grams to moles, I would divide the grams by the molar mass. Grams cancels out to be left with moles.
If I wanted to convert from moles to grams, I would multiply the moles times the molar mass. Moles would then cancel out to be left with grams.

To find the molar mass of a compound add up the atomic masses of the elements in their respective ratios.
Consider NaOH (sodium hydroxide)
Ar (atomic mass) of Na = 23g
O = 16g
H = 1g
Now there is only one atom of each element so:
(1 x 23) + (1 x 16) + (1 x 1)
= 23 + 16 + 1
= 40g
If you want to find the weight of 2 moles of NaOH use the formula:
Given mass = molar mass x no. of moles
= 40g x 2
= 80 g
If you want to find the no of moles in 160 g of NaOH use the formula:
No of moles = Given mass / molar mass
= 160 g / 40g
= 4 moles

to calculate the molar mass of a compound frist should sum the atomic mass of all atoms in compound for example: H2O
2*1+16=18
then if we have mass of a compound so whit division the mass to the molar mass can calculate the number of moles of that compound.
if we have the number of moles so with multiplication of molar mass in number of moles we can get the mass.

you add the total mass of each atom and the ratio you are looking for is:
1 mole: [total atomic weight/mass] grams.
basically the same thing, unless you have like .5 moles of the comound in which case you would flip the ratio (divide them) and multiply by the .5 moles of the compound.
I got over a hundred percent in stoichiometry, which is what you are doing.

its easy u need not worry
ex of water
its formulae isH2O
atomic mass of H&O are 1 & 16 respectively
therefore its molecular mass is 2*1 + 16 = 18 gm/mol
we should add the atomic masses of individual element And multiply them by their superscript

I have no idea but by looking at your list of questions I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are smarter than me.
