Moles to grams and grams to moles

Front

What is a mole in chemistry?

Back

A mole is a unit of measurement used to express the amount of a substance. It is defined as the amount of substance that contains as many entities (atoms, molecules, etc.) as there are in 12 grams of carbon-12.

How do you convert grams to moles?

Back

To convert grams to moles, divide the mass of the substance (in grams) by its molar mass (in g/mol). Formula: Moles = Mass (g) / Molar Mass (g/mol).

Front

How do you convert moles to grams?

Back

To convert moles to grams, multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance (in g/mol). Formula: Mass (g) = Moles x Molar Mass (g/mol).

Front

What is the molar mass of an element?

Back

The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of that element, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is numerically equal to the atomic mass of the element.

Calculate the number of moles in 25.0 g of calcium (Ca) with a molar mass of 40.08 g/mol.

Back

0.62 moles (Calculation: 25.0 g / 40.08 g/mol = 0.62 moles).

Front

How many grams are in 5 moles of magnesium (Mg) with a molar mass of 24.305 g/mol?

Back

121.525 g (Calculation: 5 moles x 24.305 g/mol = 121.525 g).

What is the molar mass of zinc sulfide (ZnS)?

Back

The molar mass of zinc sulfide (ZnS) is approximately 97.44 g/mol.

Front

How many grams of zinc are in 15.0 grams of zinc sulfide (ZnS)?

Back

10.1 g (Calculation: Use the molar mass of ZnS to find the mass of Zn).

Front

How many moles of zinc are in 15.0 grams of zinc sulfide (ZnS)?

Back

0.15 moles (Calculation: 15.0 g ZnS / 97.44 g/mol = 0.15 moles).

Front

What is the formula to calculate the number of moles from mass and molar mass?

Back

Moles = Mass (g) / Molar Mass (g/mol).
