How do you calculate hydrate mass adjuster?

Protocol assumes one hydrate, you have another? Get the corrected mass. The relationship used is m_have = m_protocol · MW_have / MW_protocol.

Worked example

Every number below is computed by the calculator, not typed in

What you are given

  • Protocol mass (mg): 159.6
  • MW the protocol assumes (g/mol): 159.6
  • MW of the form you have (g/mol): 249.68

Formula: m_have = m_protocol · MW_have / MW_protocol

The working

  1. Moles: m_protocol / MW_protocol = 1 mmol
  2. Adjusted mass: m_protocol · MW_have / MW_protocol = 249.68 mg

Weigh 249.68 mg of the form you have.

Problem 1 Hydrate mass adjuster

Work out the result for hydrate mass adjuster.

  • Protocol mass (mg): 150
  • MW the protocol assumes (g/mol): 159.6
  • MW of the form you have (g/mol): 249.68
Show the answer and the working

Weigh 234.662 mg of the form you have.

  1. Moles: m_protocol / MW_protocol = 0.94 mmol
  2. Adjusted mass: m_protocol · MW_have / MW_protocol = 234.662 mg

Problem 2 Hydrate mass adjuster

Work out the result for hydrate mass adjuster.

  • Protocol mass (mg): 750
  • MW the protocol assumes (g/mol): 159.6
  • MW of the form you have (g/mol): 249.68
Show the answer and the working

Weigh 1173.308 mg of the form you have.

  1. Moles: m_protocol / MW_protocol = 4.699 mmol
  2. Adjusted mass: m_protocol · MW_have / MW_protocol = 1173.308 mg
