# Number of Moles Formula

Mole is a fundamental unit in chemistry to represent the amount of the chemical elements. One mole of any substance is equal to the Avogadro number which is given as 6.023×10^{23}. Mole can be used as a measure of the products in a chemical reaction. The unit is denoted as mol. If we know the mass and atomic weight of any substance, we can calculate the number of moles using the given formula,

## Number of Moles Problems

Examples problems for calculating the number of moles are given below:

### Solved Examples

Question 1: Calculate the number of moles in 0.326g of barium hydroxide?

Solution:

Given measures are,
Mass of Ba(OH)2 = 0.326g
Mass of one mole Ba(OH)2 = 171g
Number of moles formula is given as,
Number of moles = $\frac{Mass\ of\ substance}{Mass\ of\ one\ mole}$

Number of moles = $\frac{0.326}{171}$ = 0.001906 mol

Question 2: Calculate the number of moles in 98g of MnO2?

Solution:

Given measures are,
Mass of MnO2 = 98g
Mass of one mole MnO2 = 86.94g
Number of moles formula is given as,
Number of moles = $\frac{Mass\ of\ substance}{Mass\ of\ one\ mole}$

Number of moles = $\frac{98}{86.94}$ = 1.127 mol
