The molecular molar mass consists of the atomic masses of each atom.

Sodium hydroxide is #"NaOH"#. Thus, its molar mass involves:

  • #"M"_"Na" = "22.989 g/mol"#
  • #"M"_"O" = "15.999 g/mol"#
  • #"M"_"H" = "1.0079 g/mol"#

So, its molar mass is #22.989 + 15.999 + 1.0079 = color(blue)("39.996 g/mol")# to 5 sig figs.
