calculate moles in excel
Hi,
Now that's interesting, both yourself and GD discuss high/grade school which
I guess are US terms and then comment on standards making the assumption; I
think, that this guy is from the US. Me, I'm convinced he's English, the
problem is pandemic.

Damn! Good thing I didn't choose kimystery as a major! Thanks for the
correction to the correction, seriously.
How odd that I should have forgotten how to spell it after only about 40
years of never so much as using it in a sentence or uttering it in
conversation.

The proper spelling is Avagadro's Constant and can be found by searching

I sincerely hope your instructor did not teach you "avagardos constant"

Hi,
So it's homework time is it?
Firstly you can't do it solely in Excel without reference to a table of
atomic weights and from that you should discover the following:-
Hydrogen atomic weight = 1.0079
Oxygen atomic weight = 15.994
Put these 2 values in A1(hydrogen) and A2(oxygen)
Now work out number of moles with this formula
=1000/(A1*2+A2)
To make it more flexible you could put the 1000gms in a cell and reference
it in the formula
=A3/(A1*2+A2)
