Enter the moles, molar mass, and density into the calculator to determine the volume in milliliters. This calculator helps convert the amount of substance from moles to volume, assuming you know the molar mass and density of the substance.
Moles to Milliliters Formula
The following formula is used to convert moles to milliliters.
V = (n * M) / D
Variables:
- V is the volume (milliliters)
- n is the amount of substance (moles)
- M is the molar mass (grams per mole)
- D is the density of the substance (grams per milliliter)
To convert moles to milliliters, multiply the number of moles by the molar mass and then divide by the density of the substance.
What is Moles to Milliliters Conversion?
Converting moles to milliliters is a common task in chemistry when dealing with solutions. It involves using the molar mass of a substance to find its mass for a given number of moles, and then using the density to convert that mass to a volume. This conversion is useful for preparing solutions with precise concentrations or for translating between different units of measurement in chemical equations.
How to Calculate Volume from Moles?
The following steps outline how to calculate the volume in milliliters from moles.
- First, determine the number of moles (n).
- Next, determine the molar mass (M) of the substance in grams per mole.
- Next, determine the density (D) of the substance in grams per milliliter.
- Use the formula V = (n * M) / D to calculate the volume (V) in milliliters.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Number of moles (n) = 2 mol
Molar mass (M) = 58.44 g/mol (for NaCl)
Density (D) = 2.165 g/mL (for NaCl)
