Learn how to use the Grams per mole to Kilodaltons Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the mass of one mole of the substance in grams per mole (g/mol).
  2. Enter the molecular weight of the substance in daltons (Da). This is optional for the calculation but useful for understanding.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to convert grams per mole to kilodaltons.
  4. The result in kilodaltons (kDa) will be displayed.

Understanding the Formula

The conversion from grams per mole to kilodaltons is straightforward. Since 1 kilodalton (kDa) is equal to 1000 daltons (Da), and 1 mole of a substance contains Avogadro's number (approximately 6.022 × 10²³) of molecules, the mass in grams per mole directly converts to kilodaltons by dividing by 1000.

Example

If a substance has a molecular weight of 5000 Da, its mass in grams per mole is 5 g/mol. To convert this to kilodaltons:

5 g/mol / 1000 = 0.005 kDa
