How plentiful moles are within 500mg?
Answers:
misoma5: "It depends on the molecule. 500 mg of NaCl contains 8.6 moles because the gram molecular weight of NaCl is 58. The gram molecular weight of glucose is 180, so 500 mg of glucose only contains 2.77 moles."
misoma5 is right that it depends on the molecular counterweight of your molecule, but he just made a simple unit error. NaCl has .0086 mols because NaCl have a molecular weight of 58. He did in 500g instead of 500mg, just see out for units! (1g=1000mg)
To calculate moles take the amount you hold (in g) / molecular weight (in g) and then that gives you the amount of moles. Source(s): misoma5, I'm a Bio focal
