Formula: moles from mass and RMM

Moles=Mass (g)RMM\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass (g)}}{\text{RMM}}

Value of Avogadro's constant

6.02×10236.02 \times 10^{23}

What one mole of any substance contains

6.02×10236.02 \times 10^{23} entities (particles)

Formula: particles from moles

Particles=Moles×6.02×1023\text{Particles} = \text{Moles} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}

Formula: moles from particles

Moles=Particles6.02×1023\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Particles}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}}

Formula: mass from moles and RMM

Mass (g)=Moles×RMM\text{Mass (g)} = \text{Moles} \times \text{RMM}

What RMM stands for

Relative molecular mass

How to calculate RMM

Add atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule

Step 1 converting grams to particles

Convert grams to moles (mass ÷ RMM)

Step 2 converting grams to particles

Convert moles to particles (moles × 6.02×10236.02 \times 10^{23})

Combined formula: grams to particles

Particles=MassRMM×6.02×1023\text{Particles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{RMM}} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}

Three quantities linked in mole calculations

Mass (grams), number of moles, relative molecular mass
