Mole Calculator

Fill in the mass or the moles, and enter the molar mass.

g

Leave blank if you know the moles.

mol

Leave blank if you know the mass.

g/mol

Add up the atomic masses, for example water is 18.015 g/mol.

This result is an estimate only. Double-check important figures before relying on them.

How it is calculated

  • Moles = mass ÷ molar mass
  • Mass = moles × molar mass
  • Particles = moles × 6.02214076 × 10²³

For concentration, use the molarity calculator.

Worked example

18 g of water (molar mass 18.015 g/mol):

  • Moles = 0.99917 mol
  • Molecules = 6.0171 × 10²³

Why your number may differ

Atomic masses are rounded, and different tables use slightly different values. For exam work, use the values your course gives.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mole?

A mole is 6.02214076 × 10²³ particles, such as atoms or molecules. It lets chemists count particles by weighing.

How do I convert grams to moles?

Divide the mass by the molar mass. 18 g of water, with a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol, is about 1 mole.

Where do I get the molar mass?

Add the atomic masses of every atom in the formula using the periodic table. For example H₂O is 2 × 1.008 + 15.999.
