Enter the concentration in grams per liter and the molar mass of the substance into the calculator to convert the concentration to millimoles per liter.

G/L to mmol/L Conversion Formula

The following formula is used to convert the concentration from grams per liter (g/L) to millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

mmol/L = (g/L) / (Molar Mass) * 1000

Variables:

  • g/L – The concentration of the substance in grams per liter.
  • Molar Mass – The molar mass of the substance in grams per mole (g/mol).
  • mmol/L – The concentration of the substance in millimoles per liter.

To convert g/L to mmol/L, divide the concentration in g/L by the molar mass of the substance and then multiply by 1000 to convert from moles to millimoles.

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.

How to Calculate mmol/L from g/L?

The following steps outline how to convert the concentration from g/L to mmol/L.

  1. First, determine the concentration of the substance in grams per liter (g/L).
  2. Next, determine the molar mass of the substance in grams per mole (g/mol).
  3. Use the formula mmol/L = (g/L) / (Molar Mass) * 1000.
  4. Finally, calculate the concentration in millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Concentration (g/L) = 150 g/L

Molar Mass (g/mol) = 58.44 g/mol

Using the formula: mmol/L = (150 g/L) / (58.44 g/mol) * 1000 = 2567.57 mmol/L
