How to Calculate and solve for the Mass, Number of Moles and Molar Mass in Chemistry | The Calculator Encyclopedia
Last Updated on February 18, 2024
The image above represents the molar mass of a substance. To calculate the molar mass, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are mass (m) and number of moles (n).
The formula for calculating the molar mass:
M = m ⁄ n
Where;
M = Molar mass
m = Mass
n = Number of moles
Let’s solve an example;
Find the molar mass of a substance with a mass of 14 kg and number of moles of 28 mol.
This implies that;
m = Mass = 14
n = Number of moles = 28
That is, M = m ⁄ n
M = 14 ⁄ 28
M = 0.5
Therefore, the molar mass is 0.5 Kg/mol.
Calculating the Mass of a Substance when the Molar Mass and the Number of Moles is Given
m = nM
Where;
m = Mass
n = Number of moles
M = Molar Mass
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mass of a substance with a molar mass of 30 Kg/mol and the number of moles of 15 mol.
This implies that;
n = Number of moles = 15
M = Molar Mass = 30
This means, m = nM
m = 15 x 30
m = 450
Therefore, the mass of a substance is 450 kg.
Calculating the Number of Moles of a Substance when the Molar Mass and the Mass is Given
n = m / M
Where;
n = Number of moles
m = Mass
M = Molar Mass
Let’s solve an example;
Find the number of moles of a substance with a mass of 22 kg and molar mass of 40 Kg/mol.
This implies that;
m = Mass = 22
M = Molar Mass = 40
n = m / M
n = 22 / 40
Then, n = 0.55
Therefore, the number of moles is 0.55 mol.
