converting from photons to moles

how do i convert from photons to moles

[Emily Hou 1H]

photons * 1 mol/ 6.022 x 10^23 photons

Hi Emily,


Just like the previous comment stated, you’ll want to take the number of photons you have and multiply by the fraction of 1 mole over 6.022 * 10^23 photons. Then you could just cross out photons to make sure those are accounted for and you’ll be left with only # of moles.

Hi! To convert from an amount of anything, such as photons, atoms, molecules, etc., you would need to divide the amount by Avagadro's number 6.022*10^23, and you should arrive at the number of moles. For going from moles to photons, you would just do the opposite and multiply the number of moles by Avagadro's constant. Hope this helps:)

A mol is just an amount of something, it doesn't strictly have to belong to a number of atoms although that is a common use. To go from photons to mol just divide by Avogadro's number (6.022*10^23) and that will give the amount in terms of mol.

To convert from photons to moles: # of photons x

As an additional note, remember that a mole is just ~6.022 x 10^34 (avogadro's number) of "stuff" (photons, molecules, ions, etc.).

1 photon * (1 mol/(6.022*10^23))

[Naomi Christian 1E]

You would use Avogadro's number. So, for every 1 mol, there are 6.022x10^23 photons. x number of photons times 1 mol/6.022x10^23 photons would give you the number of moles.

Hi!

You need to divide by Avagadro's # to get the number of moles, and from moles to photons, you would multiply by Avagadro's number.

[Aaron Kwan 3B]

are there certain keywords I need to watch out for with regards to converting from energy to moles?

[tashyavakil 2K]

You would divide by Avogadro's number in order to get the fraction of photon/mol.
