    Final Chemistry Review moles
    Please someone help me with mole conversions

    Problem one- How many representative particles are there in 1.45 g of a molecular compound with a gram molecular mass of 237 g?

    How do I set this problem up to solve?

    This is the equation you need to learn of by heart and rearrange as you require:

    amount (moles) = Molecular Weight (g/mol) x mass (grams)

    Then you'll be sorted!

    EDIT

    One mole = Avogadro's number (approximately 6.02214×10^23) of particles

    first, find out how many moles there are.

    1.45/237 = .00612 moles of that particular compound

    in each mole of any compound, there are... how many particles? Avogadro's number, that's how many.

    so in 1 mole of any compound, there are 6.022 x 10^23 particles of that compound.

    you have 0.00612 moles of it, so multiply

    0.00612 x (6.022 x 10^23)
