The Mass in Grams Calculator is a specialized tool designed to provide you with the mass (in grams) of a substance based on two essential parameters:
- Number of Moles (moles): Moles represent the quantity of a substance, and this calculator allows you to input the number of moles of the substance you have.
- Atomic Mass (grams/mole): Atomic mass is the mass of a single atom of an element, usually expressed in grams per mole (grams/mole). You can enter the atomic mass of the substance you are interested in.
Using the provided formula, the calculator then performs the following calculation:
Mass (grams) = Number of moles (moles) × Atomic mass (grams/mole)
Now, let’s break down this formula with an example:
Example of Mass In Grams Calculator
Let’s say you have 2 moles of oxygen (O2). The molar mass of oxygen (O2) is approximately 32 grams/mole.
- Number of moles (moles) = 2 moles
- Atomic mass (grams/mole) = 32 grams/mole
Now, you can use the Mass in Grams Calculator to find the mass:
Mass (grams) = 2 moles × 32 grams/mole = 64 grams
So, the mass of 2 moles of oxygen is 64 grams.
General Terms for Quick Reference
To make it even more convenient, here is a table of some general terms that people commonly search for:
| Substance | Atomic Mass (grams/mole) |
|---|---|
| Hydrogen (H) | 1 g/mole |
| Carbon (C) | 12 g/mole |
| Nitrogen (N) | 14 g/mole |
| Oxygen (O2) | 32 g/mole |
| Water (H2O) | 18 g/mole |
These values can be incredibly helpful for quick calculations without the need to input the atomic mass every time.
Most Common FAQs
