Answer:

see notes below

Step-by-step explanation:

The mole is the mass of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number of particles. That is, 1 mole substance = 1 formula weight. For elements, 1 mole weight is equal to the atomic weight expressed as grams. For molecules, 1 mole weight is equal to the molecular weight expressed as grams.

1 mole = 1 formula weight

Moles to Grams and Grams to Moles

Grams => Moles

Given grams, moles = mass given / formula weight

*Ask the question => How many formula weights are there in the given mass? => Results is always moles.

Moles => Grams

Given moles, grams = moles given X formula weight

*Summary

Grams to Moles => divide by formula weight

Moles to Grams => multiply by formula weight
