Moles to Grams Formula:
From: | To: |
The mole to gram conversion is a fundamental calculation in chemistry that converts the amount of substance (in moles) to its corresponding mass (in grams) using the molar mass of the substance.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula directly relates the number of particles (moles) to mass using the substance's molar mass as the conversion factor.
Details: This conversion is essential for preparing solutions with specific concentrations, stoichiometric calculations in chemical reactions, and determining quantities of reactants or products.
Tips: Enter the amount of substance in moles and the molar mass in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The molar mass can be found on the periodic table or calculated from a chemical formula.
Q1: What is a mole in chemistry?
A: A mole is the SI unit for amount of substance, equal to exactly 6.02214076×10²³ particles (Avogadro's number).
Q2: How do I find molar mass?
A: For elements, it's the atomic weight from the periodic table. For compounds, sum the atomic weights of all atoms in the formula.
Q3: Can I convert grams to moles with this?
A: The inverse calculation (grams to moles) would use the formula \( n = \frac{g}{MW} \).
Q4: Why is this conversion important?
A: It bridges the microscopic world (number of particles) with the macroscopic world (measurable mass).
Q5: What's the difference between molecular weight and molar mass?
A: They are numerically the same but molecular weight is dimensionless while molar mass has units of g/mol.
