The formula to convert mass to moles is:
\[ n = \frac{m}{M} \]
Where:
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is equivalent to the molecular weight of a substance, where each atomic mass unit (amu) is equal to 1 g/mol. The molar mass is used to convert between the mass of a substance and the amount in moles, which is a fundamental concept in chemistry for stoichiometric calculations.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to convert mass to moles:
\[ n = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ mol} \]
The number of moles is 5 mol.
