How to use this tool

  1. Enter amount (moles) and molar mass in the fields above.
  2. Results update instantly as you type — or click Calculate.
  3. Read your mass and the full breakdown beneath it.

To convert moles to grams use: mass = moles × molar mass. The molar mass is the atomic/molecular weight in g/mol, found on the periodic table. For example, 2 mol of water (18.015 g/mol) = 36.03 g.

Formula

mass (g) = moles × molar mass (g/mol)

Millimoles: mmol = moles × 1000

How it works

This calculator multiplies the number of moles of a substance by its molar mass to give the equivalent mass in grams — the fundamental stoichiometry conversion used throughout chemistry. Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in g/mol and found on the periodic table or from a compound's formula weight.

Results are rounded to four decimal places. The calculation assumes a pure substance; real-world samples may contain impurities that affect the measured mass.

Worked example

Worked example: mass of 2 mol of water

  1. Identify inputs: moles = 2.0 mol, molar mass of H₂O = 18.015 g/mol.
  2. Apply the formula: mass = 2.0 × 18.015 = 36.03 g.
  3. Convert to millimoles: mmol = 2.0 × 1000 = 2000 mmol.

Mass = 36.03 g; Millimoles = 2000.0 mmol

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using an approximate molar mass (e.g. 18 g/mol for water) instead of the more precise 18.015, which accumulates error in multi-step calculations.
  • Confusing molar mass with atomic number -- molar mass is in g/mol and found from the periodic table, not the element's atomic number.
  • Entering millimoles and treating them as moles -- 250 mmol = 0.250 mol; always confirm which unit the problem provides.

Key terms

Mole (mol)
The SI unit for amount of substance; one mole contains exactly 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro's number).
Molar mass
The mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in g/mol; numerically equal to the relative molecular (or atomic) mass.
Millimole (mmol)
One thousandth of a mole (0.001 mol); commonly used in laboratory and clinical settings for small quantities.
Stoichiometry
The quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, based on the mole concept.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mole?
A mole (mol) is 6.022×10²³ particles (Avogadro's number). It is the SI unit for amount of substance — the bridge between atomic and macroscopic scales.
How do I find the molar mass?
Add up the atomic masses of all atoms in the formula. H₂O: 2×1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015 g/mol. Use the IUPAC periodic table for accurate values.
