How many moles in 1 gram?

It depends on the substance. Remember that moles are a unit of
amount, and one mole is 6.02 × 1023 atoms. So if you have lead and
hydrogen, they are obviously going to weigh differently. It would
take far fewer atoms of lead to amount to 1 gram; therefore, less
moles. However, one hydrogen atom has far less mass than one lead
atom, and would need more atoms (and moles) to make one gram.
