Moles Formula:
From: | To: |
The moles formula (n = C × V) calculates the amount of substance in moles from the concentration of a solution and its volume. This fundamental chemistry equation relates these three important quantities in solution chemistry.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula shows that the number of moles of solute equals the concentration multiplied by the volume of the solution.
Details: Calculating moles is essential for preparing solutions with precise concentrations, stoichiometric calculations in chemical reactions, and determining reactant quantities in experiments.
Tips: Enter concentration in mol/L (molarity) and volume in liters. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the amount of substance in moles.
Q1: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses standard units: concentration in mol/L (molarity) and volume in liters, yielding moles as the result.
Q2: Can I use different volume units?
A: You must convert other volume units to liters before using this calculator (1 L = 1000 mL).
Q3: What if my concentration is in mmol/L?
A: Convert to mol/L first (divide by 1000) or multiply the result by 1000 to get mmol.
Q4: Does this work for any solute?
A: Yes, as long as you know the molar concentration, the formula works for any solute.
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For laboratory work, measure concentration and volume as precisely as your equipment allows.
