Triethanolamine, C6H15NO3 as weighed (Hill order), has a formula weight of 149.190 g/mol.
Weigh the form on your label, and if the label or certificate gives a formula weight, use that. A hydrate and its anhydrous form are not interchangeable: the same mass of each holds a different amount of substance.
Triethanolamine is a liquid at room temperature and is usually measured by volume. Converting a mass to a volume needs the density from your supplier's certificate, which this page does not give.
Read the supplier's safety data sheet before you handle this reagent.
Molar mass is the SI name for this quantity; formula weight is the usual term for a salt or a hydrate, and labels and searches usually say molecular weight. On this page all three mean the mass of one mole of the formula as written, in grams per mole.
Atomic weights are the CIAAW standard values, with the conventional value for elements whose atomic weight varies in nature, such as hydrogen, carbon, sulfur, chlorine and lithium. The last decimal place is arithmetic, not measured precision: a real sample's formula weight can differ in the second decimal place, and by more for lithium salts.
The molarity calculator is open below in Drybench Calc with this reagent chosen; it shows the formula weight to two decimal places. Enter your concentration and volume there; nothing you do here is saved unless you save it.

Making a solution
For a molar concentration, mass = concentration × volume × formula weight, assuming the reagent is pure; dissolve, then make up to the final volume. The calculator above uses this formula weight. The conversions below are arithmetic on this formula weight, not example stocks.
Mass for a concentration, by arithmetic
For Triethanolamine (C6H15NO3, 149.190 g/mol), the table converts between concentration and mass per volume of final solution. It is arithmetic on the formula weight (mass = concentration × volume × formula weight), assuming a pure reagent made up to volume, and nothing else: it does not say whether Triethanolamine mixes at any concentration, in what solvent, at what temperature, or what the pH would be. A liquid is measured by volume, which needs the density this page does not give.

How this page was made
Computed when the site was built by the Drybench Calc formula-mass engine, version 1.0.0, from /data/lab-calculators/reagents.e8f6883588.json (built 2026-11-07) with CIAAW 2021 atomic weights. Every formula weight, percent and conversion on this page was compared with CIAAW 2021 sum in Python decimal (reference.py's transcription) (Python 3.13.18); a disagreement stops the build. PubChem's weight (read 2026-11-07) is shown as a cross-check, not as the source.
