An online mole calculator helps you to calculate the number of moles of a substance based on the molecular weight (also called molar mass) and the quantity of that material. This online calculator also enables you to do the following conversions:

• Mass to Mole
• Mass & Moles to Molecular Weight
• Molecular Weight & Moles to Mass

A significant feature of this mole conversion calculator is that it also determines the number of particles (atoms, molecules etc.) of the substance along with handling a large number of measurement units for mass (i.e. g, lbs, stone, oz, ton etc.) as well as for mole (i.e. M, mM, nM, pM etc.).

## What is a Mole?

The Mole is an amount unit similar to pair, dozen etc. and it contains $$6.02214076 * 10^{23}$$ number of particles, whereas this number ($$6.02214076 * 10^{23}$$) is called the Avogadro’s Number or Avogadro’s Constant.Very large quantities of very small entities such as atoms, molecules or other specified particles are measured in Mole (also spelled as mol).

### Mathematical Equation:

The mathematical expression used for calculating moles is as follows:

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass In Grams}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$

Our Mole Calculator solves this equation in a split second giving accurate results and saving your time and hassle.

### How Much is a Mole?

One mole of different substances contains the same number of particles i.e. $$6.02214076 * 10^{23}$$ but the weight of each sample would be different. As we know, the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in atoms of different elements differ, consequently making the masses of those atoms different from each other. On similar lines, one mole of different substances would weigh differently.

### How Many Atoms in a Mole?

12 g of Carbon(C) = 1 Mole of Carbon (C) = $$6.02214076 * 10^{23}$$ number of Atoms
63.5 g of Copper (Cu) = 1 Mole of Copper (Cu) = $$6.02214076 * 10^23$$ number of Atoms

### How Many Molecules in a Mole?

58.44 g of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) = 1 Mole of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) = $$6.02214076 8 10^{23}$$ number of Formula Units
18 g of Water = 1 Mole of Water $$H_{2}O$$ = ($$6.02214076 x 10^23$$) number of Molecules

The concept of Mole is based on a specific number i.e. $$6.02214076 * 10^{23}$$. This number is called Avogadro’s Number or Avogadro’s Constant and is named after an Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
The Avogadro number basically relates the number of constituents particles in a sample with the amount of substance in that sample proportionately.

This number may appear to be overwhelmingly large but you can easily determine the number of particles using this moles calculator.

### Molecular Weight Or Molar Mass:

It is the intrinsic property of an element and is based on its Atomic Mass that is further based on the number of protons and neutrons in that element.

Molar Mass of a compound is simply a proportionate sum of the molecular weights of its constituent elements. Knowledge of molar mass is essential for mole conversions but calculating molar mass is a very detailed task and requires rigorous use of the periodic table. However, no need to worry because we have got your back with our Molar Mass Calculator that does particular conversions.

## How to Find Moles of a Substance? (Step by Step)

Following is the basic mathematical formula which is being used in this online tool to calculate number of moles of a substance:

$$Number of Moles = \frac{\text{Mass of Substance}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$

It is evident from this mathematical expression that we need to know any of the 2 variables for computing the third value.

### For Calculating Moles:

If we need to calculate the number of moles of a substance, simply divide the given Mass of the Substance by the given Molar Mass. This conversion can also be done using our grams to moles calculator.

### For Calculating Mass:

If we need to determine the mass of a substance, simply divide the given number of Moles of the Substance by the given Molar Mass. Similar operation can be performed using our moles to grams calculator.

### For Calculating Molar Mass:

If we need to determine the Molar Mass of a substance, simply divide the given Mass of the Substance by the given number of Moles.

Above-mentioned steps have been demonstrated in the following solved examples.

### Solved Examples:

Following solved examples clearly illustrate the methods elaborated in the preceding section. Results of these problems can be verified using our mole calculator.

Example-1:

Calculate the number of moles of aluminum present in
(a) 108 g and
(b) 13.5 g of the element

Solution:

As per the periodic table, relative atomic mass of Aluminum (Al) = 27

a)

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac{Mass}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
$$= \frac{108}{27} = 4 Moles$$

b)

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac{Mass}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
$$= \frac {13.5}{27} = 0.5 Moles$$

Example-2:

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium oxide, MgO in
(a) 80 g and
(b) 10 g of the compound

Solution:

As per the periodic table, relative atomic mass of Oxygen (O) = 16 and Magnesium (Mg) = 24

Mass of 1 Mole of MgO:
$$= \left(1 * 24\right) + \left(1 * 16\right)$$
$$= 40 g$$

a)

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac{Mass}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
$$= \frac{80}{40} = 2 Moles$$

b)

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac {Mass}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
$$= \frac {10}{40} = 0.25 Moles$$

Example-3:

How many moles of Acetic Acid $$(HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2})$$ in a 5.0 g sample of pure Acetic Acid?

Solution:

As per the periodic table, relative atomic mass of Oxygen (O) = 16, Hydrogen (H) = 1 and Carbon (C) = 12
Mass of 1 Mole of $$HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}$$:
$$= \left(4 * 1\right) + \left(2 * 12\right) + \left(2 * 16\right)$$
$$= 60 g$$

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac {Mass}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
$$= \frac {5}{60} = 0.0833 Moles$$

These calculations can easily be replicated using our mass to moles calculator. Relatively complex problems involving large amounts of masses and molar masses can be solved instantly using this moles calculator. It also has an added benefit of determining the number of constituent particles in each sample thus, it serves as a grams to molecules calculator as well.

Example-4:

Calculate the mass of
(a) 2 moles of Iron
(b) 0.25 moles of Iron

Solution:

As per the periodic table, relative atomic mass of Iron (Fe) = 56
a) mass of 2 moles of iron
$$= \text{number of moles} * \text{molar mass}$$
$$= 2 * 56$$
$$= 112 g$$

b) mass of 0.25 mole of iron
$$= \text{number of moles} * \text{molar mass}$$
$$= 0.25 * 56$$
$$= 14 g$$

Example-5:

Calculate the mass of
(a) 3 moles of carbon dioxide gas, $$CO_{2}$$
(b) 0.2 moles of carbon dioxide gas, $$CO_{2}$$

Solution:

As per the periodic table, relative atomic masses of Carbon (C) = 12 and Oxygen (O) = 16
Mass of 1 mole of $$CO_{2}$$:
$$= \left(1 * 12\right) + \left(2 * 16\right)$$
$$= 44 g$$

a) mass of 3 moles of $$CO_{2}$$:
$$= 3 * 44$$
$$= 132 g$$

b) mass of 0.2 mole of $$CO_{2}$$:
$$= 0.2 * 44$$
$$= 8.8 g$$

Example-6:

If an experiment calls for 0.500 mol $$CaCO_3$$, how many grams of pure calcium carbonate do we need?

Solution:

As per the periodic table, relative atomic masses of Carbon (C) = 12, Oxygen (O) = 16 and Calcium (Ca) = 40.
Mass of 1 mole of $$CaCO_{3}$$:
$$= \left(1 * 40\right) + \left(1 * 12\right) + \left(3 * 16\right)$$
$$= 100 g$$

Mass of 0.5 moles of $$CaCO_{3}$$:
$$= 0.5 * 100$$
$$= 50g$$

This mole calculator is able to solve these problems with greater accuracy and least effort on your part. Although its main feature is to convert moles to grams, it also has an added benefit of determining the number of constituent particles in each sample, thus, it has a functionality of a moles to molecules calculator as well.

Example-7:

If 5 moles of NaCl weigh 292.2 g, what is the molar mass of table salt?

Solution:

As per the periodic table, relative atomic mass of Sodium (Na) = 22.99 and Chlorine (Cl) = 35.45.

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac{Mass}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
$$\text{Molar Mass} = \frac{Mass}{\text{Number of Moles}}$$
$$\text{Molar Mass} = \frac{292.2}{5}$$
$$\text{Molar Mass} = 58.44 \frac{g}{mol}$$

Example-8:

If 1 kg of pure copper contains 15.74 Moles, what is the molar mass of Copper?

Solution:

$$\text{Number of Moles} = \frac{Mass}{\text{Molar Mass}}$$
$$\text{Molar Mass} = \frac{Mass}{\text{Number of Moles}}$$
$$\text{Molar Mass} = \frac{1000}{15.74}$$
$$\text{Molar Mass} = 58.44 \frac{g}{mol}$$

This mole conversion calculator also helps you calculate molar mass of a substance using a similar mathematical approach but in less time. If the substance is an element then the output of this calculator will also contain the number of atoms of that element hence, it acts as a grams to atoms calculator as well.
