The relative atomic mass of Calcium : 40 g/mol

Further explanation

The mole is the number of particles contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³

Moles can also be determined from the amount of substance mass and its molar mass / the relative atomic mass(Ar) :


\tt mol(n)=(mass(m))/(Ar)

Calcium (Ca) :

moles = 0.4

mass = 16 g


\tt Ar=(mass)/(mol)=(16)/(0.4)=40~g/mol
