Grams to Atoms Conversion Table
Mass (g) | Moles | Number of Atoms (× 10^23) |
---|---|---|
1 | 1 / 12.01 = 0.0833 | 0.0833 × 6.022 = 5.02 |
5 | 5 / 12.01 = 0.4165 | 0.4165 × 6.022 = 25.08 |
10 | 10 / 12.01 = 0.8330 | 0.8330 × 6.022 = 50.15 |
20 | 20 / 12.01 = 1.6667 | 1.6667 × 6.022 = 100.33 |
50 | 50 / 12.01 = 4.165 | 4.165 × 6.022 = 250.83 |
Grams to Atoms Conversion Formula
The equation connecting grams and atoms follows this formula:
Number of Atoms = (Mass in grams × Avogadro's number) ÷ Atomic mass
Where:
- Avogadro’s number = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mole
- Atomic mass varies by element (found on the periodic table)
Converting 10 grams of sodium (Na, atomic mass = 22.99 g/mol):
Number of Atoms = (10 g × 6.022 × 10²³) ÷ 22.99 g/mol = 2.62 × 10²³ atoms
How to Convert From Grams to Atoms
- Identify the element’s atomic mass from the periodic table
- Convert the given mass to moles by dividing grams by atomic mass
- Multiply the moles by Avogadro’s number to get atoms
Converting 5 grams of aluminum (Al, atomic mass = 26.98 g/mol):
Moles = 5 g ÷ 26.98 g/mol = 0.185 moles
Atoms = 0.185 moles × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.115 × 10²³ atoms
- Iron (Fe): 2.8 g Fe (55.85 g/mol): Atoms = (2.8 × 6.022 × 10²³) ÷ 55.85 = 3.02 × 10²² atoms
- Copper (Cu): 15 g Cu (63.55 g/mol): Atoms = (15 × 6.022 × 10²³) ÷ 63.55 = 1.42 × 10²³ atoms
- Gold (Au): 8.2 g Au (196.97 g/mol): Atoms = (8.2 × 6.022 × 10²³) ÷ 196.97 = 2.51 × 10²² atoms
- Silver (Ag): 4.5 g Ag (107.87 g/mol): Atoms = (4.5 × 6.022 × 10²³) ÷ 107.87 = 2.51 × 10²² atoms
- Platinum (Pt): 6.7 g Pt (195.08 g/mol): Atoms = (6.7 × 6.022 × 10²³) ÷ 195.08 = 2.07 × 10²² atoms
What is Grams and Atoms?
Grams function as a measurement unit of mass in the metric system, quantifying the amount of matter in a substance. This standard unit enables precise laboratory measurements and industrial applications.
Atoms represent the fundamental particles of matter, comprising protons, neutrons, and electrons. These microscopic units combine to form molecules and compounds. The correlation between grams and atoms connects macroscopic measurements with microscopic quantities, essential for chemical analysis.
