Grams to Moles Calculator

The Grams to Moles Calculator converts between mass and amount of substance using molar mass. In stoichiometry, you often know the mass of a sample in grams but need the number of moles for reaction calculations.

$$n = \frac{m}{M}$$

where $n$ is the number of moles (mol), $m$ is the mass in grams (g), and $M$ is the molar mass in g/mol.

Example: $142.04$ g of sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄, $M = 142.04$ g/mol) contains $n = 142.04 / 142.04 = 1.00$ mol.

One mole contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ particles (Avogadro's number). Converting grams to moles is faster than counting individual atoms or molecules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert grams to moles?

Divide the mass in grams by the molar mass in g/mol. For example, 100 g of water (M = 18.015 g/mol) gives n = 100 / 18.015 = 5.55 mol.

What is molar mass?

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in g/mol. It equals the sum of atomic masses of all atoms in the chemical formula.

Can I convert moles back to grams?

Yes. Rearrange the formula to m = n × M. Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass to get the mass in grams.

How many moles are in 100 g of water?

Water has a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol. So 100 g of water contains 100 / 18.015 = 5.55 mol.
