Although units such as grams, kilograms and pounds (lb) are used in everyday life to measure the amount of substances, the unit “mole” (or mol) is common in chemistry–related fields. If 1 mol of silver weighs 108 g, how many kilograms of silver are there in a spoon made up of 3.09 mol of pure silver?

So it would be like 3(108)= 324 and then 324/1000= 0.324
