What are the methods used for determining the molecular mass

 Determination of Molecular Mass:

The molecular mass of a compound is required for determining its molecular formula. A number of methods are used to determine the molecular mass of a compound depending upon its nature. The methods commonly employed for determining the molecular mass are as follows:

1. Victor Meyer Method

2. Freezing point depression or boiling point elevation method.

3. Volumetric Method

4. Silver Salt method for acids

5. Chloroplatinate salt method for bases (amines)

6. Mass spectrometry.
