What is a mole in chemistry?

Back

A mole is a unit of measurement used to express amounts of a chemical substance, defined as exactly 6.022 x 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.).

How do you determine the number of moles from grams?

Back

To determine the number of moles from grams, use the formula: Moles = Mass (g) / Molar Mass (g/mol).
