Approximately 78 grams The mole as a unit lets us recycle the number found in the average Atomic Mass and place a new much larger and therefore easier to work with unit. This unit is the gram. So in this case 1 average atom of K has a mass of 39 amu and 1 mole of atoms of K have a mass of 39 grams. So since you want 2.0 mol of K you just have to multiply the atomic mass found on the periodic table by 2.0
