Harder Mole Conversions

Begin with a mole map:

Conversion from particles to mass (g)
Ex. What is the mass of 1.27x10^22 Co atoms?
1.27x10^22 atoms x (1mol/ 6.022x10^23atoms) x (58.9g / 1 mol) = 1.24g of Co

Conversion from grams to particles

If you have 10.0g of Iron how many atoms do you have?

10.0g x (1mol/55.8g) x (6.022 x 10^23/ 1 mol) = 1.08 x 10^23

Basically just follow the steps on the mole map and make sure you cancel out the units using the fractions method depicted above.

If your doing some work at home you can use this website to check some of you answers:
