How to calculate moles from mass
This calculator finds moles of a substance from its mass and molar mass — the reverse of the mass-from-moles calculation, and a core stoichiometry conversion.
How the calculation works
Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass.
Example
36 grams of water (molar mass 18 g/mol): 36÷18 = 2 moles.

Pro Tips for Moles from Mass
- Molar mass must be specific to the exact substance in question — look it up from the chemical formula using atomic masses from the periodic table.
- This conversion is foundational to virtually all stoichiometry calculations, connecting measurable mass to the mole, chemistry's core counting unit.
Common Moles from Mass Mistakes to Avoid
- Using an incorrect or approximate molar mass instead of the precise value for the specific compound, which propagates error into the resulting mole calculation.
