Worked example

Find the amount when Mass = 9 g, Molar mass = 18 g/mol.

Using n = m/M: Amount = 0.5 mol.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Moles from mass?

n = m/M.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Amount in mol, Mass in g, Molar mass in g/mol.

How do you calculate amount?

Put the values into n = m/M. For example, with Mass = 9 g, Molar mass = 18 g/mol, amount = 0.5 mol.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (amount, mass, molar mass) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
