Homework Help: chemistry

If the molecular weight of a protein is given as 90,000 are the units g/mol or simply g? I have seen mixed answers to this question.

It will be 90,000 g/mol since 1 mol will have a mass of 90,000. But many simply drop the the mol and say the molecular weight is 90,000 g and we all understand it is the mass of mol (hence the term "molecular weight" which has been replace in recent years as "molar mass."

No one has answered this question yet.
