Enter the total number of grams of the substance and the molecular weight into the calculator to determine the total number of moles.
Mol Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the total number of moles of a substance.
m = M / mw
- Where m is the number of moles
- M is the mass (grams)
- mw is the molecular weight (grams/mole)
Mol Definition
A mole is a unitless measure that describes the number of atoms in a particular amount of substance.
