Moles of Compounds
A properly written compound shows the ratio of atoms in the compound. For example, sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) shows that for every 1 compound there are 2 atoms of Na, 1 atom of C, and 3 atoms of O.
This also works with the mole. For 1 mole of the compound, there are 2 moles of Na, 1 mole of C, and 3 moles of O. This information allows us to calculate the molar mass of the entire compound, often called the formula mass.
2 mols Na 22.9897 g = 45.9794 g Na

The total molar mass of Na2CO3 is 105.9883 g.
Once it is known that 1 mol of Na2CO3 = 105.9883 g, conversion factors can be made of this information:
These conversion factors can then be used in other calculations.
