What is Avogadro's number?

Avogadro's number (Nₐ) is 6.02214076×10²³. It defines the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in one mole of a substance, as set by the 2019 SI redefinition of the mole.

How do I find the molar mass?

For a pure element, use its atomic mass from the periodic table (e.g. carbon = 12.011 g/mol). For a compound, sum the atomic masses of all atoms in the formula (e.g. H₂O = 2×1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015 g/mol).

What is the formula used?

Number of particles N = n × Nₐ, and mass m = n × M, where n is moles, Nₐ is Avogadro's number, and M is molar mass in g/mol. All three fields are derived from these two equations.

Does this work for molecules as well as atoms?

Yes. Avogadro's number applies equally to atoms, molecules, ions, or any countable particle. Just ensure your molar mass matches the particle type you are counting (atomic mass for atoms, molecular weight for molecules).

Why does my input show scientific notation?

The number of particles in typical lab quantities is enormous (e.g. 1 mol = 6.02×10²³). The calculator displays large or small numbers in scientific notation automatically for readability.
