g/L to mmol/L Calculator

Formula

The formula to convert g/L to mmol/L is:

\[ \text{mmol/L} = \left(\frac{\text{g/L}}{\text{Molar Mass}}\right) \times 1000 \]

Where:

\(\text{g/L}\) is the concentration of the substance in grams per liter
\(\text{Molar Mass}\) is the molar mass of the substance in grams per mole (g/mol)
\(\text{mmol/L}\) is the concentration of the substance in millimoles per liter

What is the significance of converting g/L to mmol/L?

Converting grams per liter to millimoles per liter is important in chemistry and medical fields to standardize concentrations for comparison and calculations. It allows for the consideration of the number of molecules present rather than just the mass, which is crucial for stoichiometric calculations and understanding chemical reactions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Concentration (g/L) = 10 g/L
Molar Mass = 180 g/mol

Using the formula:

\[ \text{mmol/L} = \left(\frac{10}{180}\right) \times 1000 = 55.56 \text{ mmol/L} \]

The concentration is 55.56 mmol/L.
