The mass from moles calculation is a fundamental chemistry equation that relates the amount of substance (in moles) to its mass (in grams) using the molar mass of the substance. This relationship is essential for stoichiometric calculations in chemistry.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The molar mass serves as a conversion factor between the number of particles (moles) and the measurable mass of a substance.
Details: This calculation is crucial for preparing solutions with precise concentrations, determining yields in chemical reactions, and converting between the microscopic scale (number of particles) and macroscopic scale (measurable mass).
Tips: Enter the number of moles and the molar mass of the substance. Both values must be positive numbers. The molar mass can be found on the periodic table for elements or calculated by summing the atomic masses for compounds.
Q1: What is a mole in chemistry?
A: A mole is the SI unit for amount of substance, defined as 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 masses of all atoms in the formula.
Q3: Can I calculate moles from mass?
A: Yes, by rearranging the formula: Moles = Mass / Molar Mass.
Q4: Why is molar mass important?
A: It allows conversion between measurable mass and number of particles, which is essential for chemical reactions and stoichiometry.
Q5: What's the difference between molecular weight and molar mass?
A: They're numerically the same but molecular weight is dimensionless while molar mass has units of g/mol.
