Enter the molarity and molecular weight into the calculator to determine the concentration in milligrams per liter. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

M To Mg/L Formula

The following formula is used to convert molarity (M) to milligrams per liter (Mg/L).

Mg/L = M * MW * 1000

Variables:

  • Mg/L is the concentration in milligrams per liter
  • M is the molarity in moles per liter (M)
  • MW is the molecular weight of the solute (g/mol)

To calculate the concentration in milligrams per liter, multiply the molarity by the molecular weight of the solute. Then, multiply the result by 1000 to convert grams to milligrams.

What is M To Mg/L?

M to Mg/L refers to the conversion from molarity (M) to milligrams per liter (Mg/L). Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution, or of any chemical species, in terms of amount of substance in a given volume. Milligrams per liter, on the other hand, is a measure of the mass concentration of a substance in a solution. The conversion between these two units requires knowledge of the molecular weight of the solute.

How to Calculate M To Mg/L?

The following steps outline how to calculate the concentration in milligrams per liter (Mg/L) using the formula: Mg/L = M * MW * 1000.


  1. First, determine the molarity (M) in moles per liter.
  2. Next, determine the molecular weight (MW) of the solute in grams per mole.
  3. Next, multiply the molarity (M) by the molecular weight (MW).
  4. Finally, multiply the result by 1000 to convert the concentration to milligrams per liter (Mg/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.
