0.1 grams equals approximately 0.0000063 moles of substance.
To convert grams (g) to moles (n), you need the molar mass of the substance, which is the weight of one mole in grams. The formula is n = g / M, where g is grams and M is molar mass. For example, if the substance’s molar mass is 16 g/mol, then 0.1 g divided by 16 gives the number of moles.
Conversion Result
Converting 0.1 g to n depends on the molar mass of the substance. For instance, if the molar mass is 16 g/mol, then 0.1 g equals 0.0063 mols.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams (g) to moles (n) is n = g / M, where M is the molar mass of the substance in grams per mole. This works because dividing the mass in grams by the molar mass gives the number of moles, which is a count of particles. For example, with 0.1 g and molar mass 16 g/mol, calculation is 0.1 / 16 = 0.00625 mol.
Conversion Example
- Convert 0.5 g of water (M = 18 g/mol):
- Step 1: Write the formula n = g / M
- Step 2: Substitute g = 0.5 and M = 18
- Step 3: Calculate 0.5 / 18 = 0.0278 mol
- Convert 2 g of carbon dioxide (M = 44 g/mol):
- Step 1: n = 2 / 44
- Step 2: Result is approximately 0.0455 mol
- Convert 1.2 g of glucose (M = 180 g/mol):
- Step 1: n = 1.2 / 180
- Step 2: Result about 0.0067 mol

Conversion Definitions
g
Gram (g) is the metric unit of mass, used to measure the amount of substance, where 1 g equals one-thousandth of a kilogram. It is a basic unit in chemistry for quantifying how much material is present in a sample.
n
Mole (n) is the quantity representing approximately 6.022 x 10^23 particles, atoms, or molecules. It allows scientists to count particles in a manageable number, linking microscopic entities to macroscopic measurements.
Conversion FAQs
How does the molar mass affect the conversion from grams to moles?
The molar mass determines how many grams are in one mole of a substance. A higher molar mass means fewer moles for the same grams, while a lower molar mass results in more moles. This directly influences the conversion calculation.
What happens if I input a negative value in the converter?
Negative grams are not physically meaningful, but mathematically, the converter will display a negative mole value. In real scenarios, negative mass doesn’t exist, so only positive inputs should be used for accurate results.
Can the conversion be used for all substances?
Yes, as long as you know the molar mass of the substance. The formula n = g / M works universally for any chemical, but the molar mass must be accurate for correct conversion.
