To convert moles to grams, you use the concept of molar mass.
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is equal to the atomic mass or molecular mass of the substance, but written in grams.
πΉ Steps to convert moles to grams:
- Find the molar mass of the substance.
β For elements, itβs the atomic mass from the periodic table.
β For compounds, add up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula. - Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass.
β This gives you the mass in grams.
Example (conceptual, no equation):
Suppose you have 2 moles of water. The molar mass of water is about 18 g per mole. Multiply 2 by 18, and you get 36 grams of water.
In short:
Moles Γ Molar Mass = Mass (in grams).
