Calculate moles, mass, molecules, and concentration relationships

Mass to Moles

Moles (n)0.9992 mol
Mass (m)18.00 g
Molecules6.02e+23
Atoms6.02e+23
Formula UsedMass to Moles
Calculation: n = m/M = 18.00g / 18.02g/mol = 0.9992 mol

Quick Example Result

For 18.0g of water (H₂O) with molar mass 18.015 g/mol:

n = 1.000 mol, Molecules = 6.02 × 10²³

How This Calculator Works

Our mole calculator provides comprehensive analysis of chemical quantities using fundamental chemistry principles. The calculator applies stoichiometric relationships to find moles, mass, molecules, and concentration values essential for chemical analysis.

The Calculation Method

Mole Formula: n = m/M (moles = mass ÷ molar mass)
Molarity: M = n/V (molarity = moles ÷ volume in liters)
Molality: m = n/m_solvent (molality = moles ÷ solvent mass in kg)
Mass Percent: % = (m_solute / m_solution) × 100
Mole Fraction: χ = n_solute / (n_solute + n_solvent)

These fundamental formulas form the basis for calculating chemical quantities and understanding stoichiometric relationships in chemical reactions and solutions.

Example Calculation

Real-World Example
Finding the number of moles in 36.0 grams of water (H₂O)

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Given: Mass = 36.0g, Molar mass of H₂O = 18.015 g/mol
  2. Formula: n = m/M
  3. Substitute: n = 36.0g ÷ 18.015 g/mol
  4. Calculate: n = 1.998 mol ≈ 2.00 mol
  5. Molecules: 2.00 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.20 × 10²⁴ molecules

Results:

Moles: n = 2.00 mol
Mass: m = 36.0 g
Molecules: 1.20 × 10²⁴ molecules
Atoms: 3.61 × 10²⁴ atoms (3 per molecule)

Interpretation: 36.0 grams of water contains exactly 2.00 moles of water molecules. Each mole contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules (Avogadro's number), so we have 1.20 × 10²⁴ water molecules total. Since each water molecule contains 3 atoms (2 hydrogen + 1 oxygen), we have 3.61 × 10²⁴ atoms total.

This demonstrates how the mole concept bridges the gap between macroscopic mass measurements and microscopic particle counts, enabling precise chemical calculations.
