Moles to Grams Formula:
From: | To: |
The moles to grams conversion is a fundamental calculation in chemistry that converts the amount of substance (in moles) to mass (in grams) using the molar mass of the substance.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: This conversion is based on the definition of a mole as exactly 6.02214076×10²³ elementary entities (Avogadro's number) of the substance.
Details: This conversion is essential for laboratory work, chemical reactions, and stoichiometric calculations where precise measurements of substances are required.
Tips: Enter the amount of substance in moles and the molar mass in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How do I find the molar mass of a compound?
A: Add up the atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule. For example, water (H₂O) has molar mass of ~18.015 g/mol.
Q2: Why is the mole concept important in chemistry?
A: Moles allow chemists to count particles by weighing them, making it practical to work with substances at macroscopic scales.
Q3: Can this calculator be used for any chemical substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct molar mass of the substance.
Q4: What's the difference between molecular weight and molar mass?
A: They're numerically the same but molar mass has units (g/mol) while molecular weight is dimensionless.
Q5: How precise should my molar mass values be?
A: Use as many decimal places as your periodic table provides for accurate calculations (typically 2-4 decimal places).
