Mole Equation:
From: | To: |
The mole equation (n = M × V) calculates the amount of substance (in moles) from its concentration and volume. It's a fundamental relationship in chemistry for quantitative analysis.
The calculator uses the mole equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation shows the direct proportionality between the amount of substance and both its concentration and volume.
Details: Calculating moles is essential for preparing solutions, stoichiometric calculations, and determining reaction yields in chemistry.
Tips: Enter concentration in mol/L and volume in liters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the amount of substance in moles.
Q1: What units should I use?
A: Concentration should be in mol/L (molarity) and volume in liters (L) for the result to be in moles.
Q2: Can I use different volume units?
A: Yes, but you'll need to convert to liters first (1 L = 1000 mL = 1 dm³).
Q3: What if my concentration is in mmol/L?
A: Convert to mol/L by dividing by 1000 before using the calculator (1 mol/L = 1000 mmol/L).
Q4: Is this equation valid for all solutes?
A: Yes, as long as the concentration is properly expressed in terms of the solute's molarity.
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: Precision depends on your needs, but typically 2-4 significant figures are appropriate for most laboratory work.
