From: | To: |
The mole to mass calculation is a fundamental chemical calculation 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: This calculation is based on the definition of the mole as the amount of substance containing exactly 6.022 × 10²³ elementary entities.
Details: This calculation is essential for chemical reactions, stoichiometry, solution preparation, and determining quantities of substances in laboratory and industrial settings.
Tips: Enter the number of moles and the molar mass of the substance. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in grams.
Q1: What is a mole?
A: A mole is the SI unit for amount of substance, defined as containing exactly 6.02214076 × 10²³ elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.).
Q2: How do I find the molar mass of a compound?
A: Molar mass is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in the chemical formula. For example, water (H₂O) has molar mass of 18.015 g/mol.
Q3: Can I use this for any chemical substance?
A: Yes, this calculation works for any pure substance as long as you know its exact molar mass.
Q4: What precision should I use for molar mass?
A: Use the precision appropriate for your application. For most laboratory work, 2-4 decimal places is sufficient.
Q5: How does this relate to Avogadro's number?
A: The mass calculated represents the mass of Avogadro's number of particles multiplied by the number of moles.
