You would take your grams divided by the FW (formula weight) of the molecule.
example: 1g of H2O divided by 18 = .056mol H2O
you find the formula weight by adding of the atomic masses of each element
O=16 and H=1 1(2)+16=18
# Moles CO2 * 44.01 g CO2 / 1 Mole CO2 = # g CO2
Multiplication by what is called a conversion factor. A moles x (bbb grams / 1 mole) in which bbb is the molar mass of the substance.
mass of any substance to moles
FeCl3 ? 1.1 grams FeCl3 (1 mole FeCl3/162.2 grams) = 0.0068 moles of FeCl3 ------------------------------------
To do this, you need to know the molecular weight of the element you're dealing with, by adding up the atomic weights of the elements involved (found on any periodic table). The molecular weight is the mass in grams of the compound in one mole - this will provide you with a conversion factor. So take the measurement in grams and divide it by the molecular weight to convert to moles. Really what you're doing is multiplying the number by 1 mole, and dividing it by the equivalent of one mole, the molecular weight. That's the thought process behind unit analysis and how you get your "units to cancel".In this case, the answer is about 12.33 moles carbon monoxide.
Not many! 5.0 grams CaBr2 (1 mole/199.88 grams CaBr2) = 0.025 moles CaBr2
the molar mass is used as a conversion factor to convert grams to moles
The mass of 1 mole of the element is used as a conversion factor to convert grams to moles
1 mole He is 4.0 g. Use as a conversion factor to change 0.12 g He to moles.
2.54 times 10 to the 23 power
Multiplication by what is called a conversion factor. A moles x (bbb grams / 1 mole) in which bbb is the molar mass of the substance.
the molar mass 1 mole = xxx grams based on the chemical formula Ex: CO2 ... the atomic mass of carbon is 12, and the atomic mass of oxygen is 16 but the molar mass = (1 x 12) + (2 x 16) because of the number of atoms of each in the formula. molar mass = 44. so 1 mole = 44 grams ... turn this fact into a conversion factor. 44g / 1mole is the conversion factor to convert moles of carbon dioxide into mass (grams). Each substance will have a different molar mass, so a different conversion factor.
The quantity that serves as a conversion factor between mass and number of moles is the molecular mass.
The conversion factor you need for this problem is the atomic mass of arsenic.74.9 gram arsenic = 1 mole arsenicSince you want to end up in units of moles of As, this goes in the numerator (on top). You want to convert from grams As, so this goes in the denominator (on the bottom).grams As1 mole As = moles As74.9 gram As
mass of any substance to moles
Moles
Mole ratio is the number of moles of a substance divided by the total number of moles of all substances present, times 100.
Conversion of a certain mass of a substance to moles requires knowing the molar mass. Molar mass is given in grams per mole. Dividing the known mass by the molar mass gives the number of moles.
