Mole Density Formula:
From: | To: |
Mole density is a measure of concentration that relates the amount of substance (in moles) to the volume it occupies, taking into account the molar mass of the substance. It's commonly expressed in grams per liter (g/L).
The calculator uses the mole density formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates how much mass of a substance is present in a given volume, based on its molecular weight and quantity in moles.
Details: Mole density is important in chemistry for preparing solutions with specific concentrations, in stoichiometric calculations, and for understanding the relationship between molecular quantities and measurable properties like mass and volume.
Tips: Enter the amount in moles, the molar mass in g/mol, and the volume in liters. All values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the density in g/L.
Q1: What's the difference between mole density and molarity?
A: Molarity is moles per liter (mol/L), while mole density as calculated here is mass per liter (g/L) based on mole quantity.
Q2: Can I use this for gases?
A: Yes, but for gases at STP, you might want to use the molar volume (22.4 L/mol at STP) for more accurate calculations.
Q3: How precise should my measurements be?
A: Precision depends on your application. For most lab work, 4 significant figures is sufficient.
Q4: Does temperature affect the calculation?
A: Temperature affects volume, so ensure your volume measurement is at the correct temperature for your application.
Q5: Can I calculate reverse - find moles from density?
A: Yes, you can rearrange the formula: Moles = (Density × Volume) / Molar Mass
