Mole to Particle Conversion

Mole Conversions

#1 Particles and Moles

Mole Conversions

There are three simple mole conversions you must master as a
chemist:

1.

Converting between particles (atoms, molecules or formula
units) and moles.

2.

Converting between mass (g) and moles.

3.

Converting between volume (L) and moles at
standard temperature and pressure (STP).

Particles & Moles

●

1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles = Avogadro’s Number

●

Particles: atoms, ions, molecules, formula units

●

To convert from…

○

moles to particles, multiply by Avogadro’s number

○

particles to moles, divide by Avogadro’s number
