It depends on the substance and its molar mass.
In order to convert from grams to formula units, you must first convert grams to moles, then moles to formula units (grams --> moles --> formula units).
1. Divide the mass (g) of the given substance by the substance's molar mass.
2. Multiply the number of moles found in Step 1 (above) by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023).
---- Mass substance ----- X 6.022 x 1023 formula units

K2O is potassium oxide. Formula mass = 94g32.6 g x 1 FU/94 g = 0.35 formula units
The mass is 2.86 grams but the weight will be 0.028 Newtons.
The common units for density is grams per liter. Density can be given in any units of mass per any unit of volume (i.e. kg per milliliters).
Hydronium ions have the formula H3O+
The normal triple beam balance reads in grams. The larger increments are 100 and 10 grams, and the final beam may measure continuously in grams and decimal fractions .
