From: | To: |
The millimolar to mg/mL conversion is used to convert molar concentration to mass concentration. This is essential in chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical sciences where concentration units need to be interchanged for various applications and calculations.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts the number of millimoles per liter to milligrams per milliliter by multiplying by the molecular weight and dividing by 1000 to account for unit conversions.
Details: Accurate concentration conversion is crucial for preparing solutions, dosing medications, conducting experiments, and ensuring consistency across different measurement systems in scientific and medical fields.
Tips: Enter millimolar concentration and molecular weight in their respective units. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the equivalent mass concentration in mg/mL.
Q1: Why divide by 1000 in the formula?
A: The division by 1000 accounts for two conversions: from millimoles to moles (÷1000) and from grams to milligrams (×1000), resulting in a net division by 1000.
Q2: Can this calculator be used for any compound?
A: Yes, as long as you know the molecular weight of the compound, this calculator can convert mM to mg/mL for any substance.
Q3: What is the difference between mM and mg/mL?
A: mM (millimolar) is a molar concentration unit (moles per liter), while mg/mL is a mass concentration unit (mass per volume). The conversion depends on the molecular weight.
Q4: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input values for mM concentration and molecular weight.
Q5: Can I convert back from mg/mL to mM?
A: Yes, the reverse conversion is: mM = (mg/mL × 1000) ÷ Molecular Weight.
