Use this tool to calculate the number of molecules in a given sample using Avogadro’s number.
Avogadro’s Number Calculator
Explanation
Avogadro’s number is approximately 6.02214076 x 1023 particles per mole. This calculator allows you to convert between moles and the number of particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).
How to Use
1. Select the type of substance (though this does not affect the calculation, it helps in understanding the context).
2. Enter the quantity you have in either moles or particles.
3. Select the unit of the quantity you have entered.
4. Click the “Calculate” button to get the result.
How It Calculates
If you have entered the quantity in moles, the calculator will multiply this number by Avogadro’s number to give you the number of particles.
If you have entered the quantity in particles, the calculator will divide this number by Avogadro’s number to give you the number of moles.
Limitations
Please note that the calculator uses a fixed value of Avogadro’s number (6.02214076 x 1023). For highly precise calculations in strict scientific contexts, additional considerations might be necessary.
