How it's calculated
n = m ÷ M, N = n × Nₐ
n = moles, m = mass (g), M = molar mass (g/mol), N = number of particles, Nₐ = Avogadro's number 6.022×10²³. Rearrange to m = n × M or n = N ÷ Nₐ.
Common questions
How many particles are in a mole?
One mole contains 6.02214076 x 10^23 particles, the Avogadro constant fixed by the 2019 SI redefinition.
How do I convert grams to moles?
Divide the mass in grams by the substance's molar mass in grams per mole.
