Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

To do this, you need to know what a mole is and how to determine the molar mass of a substance. This page gives a good but brief introduction:
http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/mole.html
Then for any given substance, you need it's chemical formula and you need a periodic table (Google -- seberal good ones on the web) to determine the atomic "weights" (masses really) that need to be added to determine the molar mass. This will be the mass (in grams) of 1 mole of the substance (the same numeric relationship will exist between milligrams and millimoles, or between micrograms and micromoles).
For your specific question, 1 mole Na = 22.99 g
and 1 mole K = 39.10 g
