Molar mass of NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate)

The molar mass of NaHCO3 is 84.01 g/mol.

Baking soda; it reacts with vinegar in the classic volcano experiment.

Step-by-step calculation

Add up the atomic masses of every atom in the formula:

1 × 22.99 + 1 × 1.008 + 1 × 12.011 + 3 × 15.999 = 84.01 g/mol
