How do you convert moles to grams?

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.


πŸ”Ή Steps to convert moles to grams:

  1. Find the molar mass of the substance.
    – For elements, it’s the atomic mass from the periodic table.
    – For compounds, add up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula.
  2. Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass.
    – 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).
