To convert moles to grams, you need to know the molar mass of the substance you are working with. The molar mass is the mass of one mole of the substance and is typically measured in grams per mole.
Here's the step-by-step process to convert moles to grams:
-
Determine the number of moles you have.
-
Find the molar mass of the substance in grams per mole.
-
Use the formula: grams = moles x molar mass
For example, if you have 2 moles of oxygen (O2), which has a molar mass of 32 g/mol, the calculation would be: grams = 2 moles x 32 g/mol = 64 grams
This calculation will give you the equivalent mass in grams for the given number of moles of the substance.
