Calculate mass from particles and molar mass, or find the missing value using Avogadro's number with g, kg, lb, and g/mol or kg/mol units.

Use a molar mass for the same kind of particle counted: atoms, molecules, ions or formula units.

Scientific notation is accepted, for example 6.02214076e23.

Mass From Particles Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Mass From Particles. 

Mp = P / 6.02214076e23 ร— mm
  • Where Mp is the Mass From Particles (g)
  • P is the total number of particles 
  • mm is the molar mass of substance (g/mol) 

To calculate mass from the number of particles, divide the number of particles by Avogadro’s number, then multiply by the molar mass.

How to Calculate Mass From Particles?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Mass From Particles.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total number of particles.
    • The total number of particles is given as 15e24.
  2. Next, determine the molar mass of substance (g/mol).
    • The molar mass of substance (g/mol) is provided as 13.
  3. Finally, calculate the Mass From Particles using the equation above: 

Mp = P / 6.02214076e23 * mm

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

Mp = 15e24 / 6.02214076e23 * 13 = 323.805 (g)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

total number of particles = 16e20
