Enter the grams of solute, molecular weight of the solute, and volume of solution into the calculator to determine the millimolarity, or enter the millimolarity, molecular weight of the solute, and volume of solution to determine the grams of solute.
Grams to Millimolar Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the millimolarity (mM) from grams of solute (g), molecular weight (MW), and volume of solution (V).
mM = (g / (MW * V)) * 1000
Variables:
- mM is the millimolarity
- g is the grams of solute
- MW is the molecular weight of the solute
- V is the volume of the solution in liters
To calculate the millimolarity, divide the grams of solute by the product of the molecular weight and the volume of the solution, then multiply the result by 1000 to convert to millimolarity.

| 0.001 | 0.017 |
| 0.005 | 0.086 |
| 0.010 | 0.171 |
| 0.025 | 0.428 |

| * Rounded to 3 decimals. Formula: mM = (grams / (MW × volume in L)) × 1000. With NaCl (58.44 g/mol) at 1.000 L: 1 g → 17.112 mM. | |
What is Millimolarity?
Millimolarity (mM) is a unit of concentration that represents the number of millimoles of a solute per liter of solution. It is commonly used in chemistry and biology to express the concentration of substances in a solution. One millimole is equal to one-thousandth (1/1000) of a mole, which is a standard unit in chemistry representing a specific number of molecules or atoms.
How to Calculate Millimolarity?
The following steps outline how to calculate the millimolarity of a solution.
- First, determine the grams of solute (g).
- Next, determine the molecular weight of the solute (MW).
- Next, determine the volume of the solution (V).
- Finally, calculate the millimolarity using the formula mM = (g / (MW * V)) * 1000.
- After inserting the values 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.
Grams of solute (g) = 5
Molecular weight of solute (MW) = 180 g/mol
