Mass from Molar Formula:
From: | To: |
The mass from molar calculation determines the mass of a substance given its amount in moles and its molecular weight. This fundamental chemistry calculation is essential for laboratory preparations and chemical reactions.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula directly relates the number of particles (in moles) to their mass through the molecular weight conversion factor.
Details: Accurate mass calculations are crucial for preparing solutions with precise concentrations, conducting stoichiometric calculations in chemical reactions, and ensuring proper dosing in pharmaceutical applications.
Tips: Enter the amount of substance in moles and the molecular weight in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in grams.
Q1: What's the difference between mass and moles?
A: Moles measure the number of particles (6.022×10²³ particles per mole), while mass measures the actual weight in grams.
Q2: How do I find the molecular weight?
A: Molecular weight is the sum of atomic weights of all atoms in a molecule, available on the periodic table or chemical databases.
Q3: Can I use this for elements and compounds?
A: Yes, this calculation works for both elements and compounds as long as you know the correct molecular/formula weight.
Q4: What if my substance is a solution?
A: For solutions, you'll need to consider concentration (molarity) and volume in addition to molecular weight.
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: Precision depends on your application. Analytical chemistry often requires 4+ significant figures, while educational demonstrations may need less.
