Grams to Moles Calculator
Calculate grams moles with our free science calculator. Uses standard scientific formulas with unit conversions and explanations.
Formula
n = m / M (moles = grams / molar mass)
Moles equal mass divided by molar mass. To reverse, mass equals moles times molar mass. The molar mass is the sum of atomic masses of all atoms in the chemical formula, found on the periodic table.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert grams to moles?
To convert grams to moles, divide the mass in grams by the molar mass (molecular weight) in grams per mole: moles = grams / molar mass. The molar mass is found by adding up the atomic masses of all atoms in the chemical formula from the periodic table. For example, water (H2O) has a molar mass of 2(1.008) + 16.00 = 18.015 g/mol, so 36 grams of water is 36/18.015 = 2.0 moles. This conversion is the foundation of all stoichiometric calculations in chemistry.
What is the relationship between moles, mass, and particles?
These three quantities are connected through molar mass and Avogadro's number. Mass and moles are related by: n = m/M. Moles and particles are related by: N = n * NA (6.022e23). Therefore particles and mass are related by: N = (m/M) * NA. One mole of any substance always contains 6.022e23 particles but has different masses depending on the molar mass. One mole of hydrogen gas (2 g) and one mole of lead (207 g) both contain the same number of atoms but differ greatly in mass.
