Grams to Moles Calculator
Convert grams to moles using molar mass. Also solve for mass or molar mass from moles with preset common substances.
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.
