Moles to Grams Calculator
Convert moles to grams by entering moles and molar mass. Formula: mass (g) = moles × molar mass (g/mol). For education only.
How to use this tool
- Enter amount (moles) and molar mass in the fields above.
- Results update instantly as you type — or click Calculate.
- 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
- Identify inputs: moles = 2.0 mol, molar mass of H₂O = 18.015 g/mol.
- Apply the formula: mass = 2.0 × 18.015 = 36.03 g.
- Convert to millimoles: mmol = 2.0 × 1000 = 2000 mmol.
Mass = 36.03 g; Millimoles = 2000.0 mmol
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.
