Moles from Concentration and Volume:
From: | To: |
The equation calculates the amount of substance (in moles) from its concentration and volume. It's a fundamental calculation in chemistry for preparing solutions and stoichiometric calculations.
The calculator uses the equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation shows the direct proportionality between moles and both concentration and volume.
Details: Calculating moles is essential for preparing chemical solutions, reaction stoichiometry, and quantitative chemical analysis.
Tips: Enter concentration in mol/L and volume in liters. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Can I use different units?
A: The calculator uses standard units (mol/L and L). For other units, convert them first (e.g., mL to L by dividing by 1000).
Q2: What if my concentration is in g/L?
A: You'll need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass of the substance before using this calculator.
Q3: Does this work for any solute?
A: Yes, as long as you're using molar concentration (mol/L) and know the volume in liters.
Q4: How precise is this calculation?
A: The precision depends on your input values. The calculator shows 4 decimal places by default.
Q5: Can I calculate concentration from moles and volume?
A: Yes, by rearranging the equation: \( C = n/V \).
