Gram to millimole conversion is a chemical calculation that converts mass (in grams) to amount of substance (in millimoles) using the molar mass of the substance. This conversion is essential in chemistry for quantitative analysis and stoichiometric calculations.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts 100 grams of a substance to millimoles by dividing the mass by the molar mass and multiplying by 1000 to convert from moles to millimoles.
Details: Molar mass is a fundamental property in chemistry that represents the mass of one mole of a substance. Accurate molar mass values are crucial for precise chemical calculations, formulation preparations, and analytical measurements.
Tips: Enter the molar mass of the substance in g/mol. The value must be greater than zero. The calculator will compute the number of millimoles in 100 grams of the substance.
Q1: Why multiply by 1000 in the formula?
A: The multiplication by 1000 converts moles to millimoles (1 mole = 1000 millimoles), which is a more convenient unit for many chemical calculations.
Q2: Where can I find molar mass values?
A: Molar mass values can be found in chemical databases, periodic tables, or calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a chemical compound.
Q3: Can this calculator be used for any substance?
A: Yes, this calculator works for any pure substance as long as you know its accurate molar mass value.
Q4: What's the difference between moles and millimoles?
A: Moles are the SI unit for amount of substance, while millimoles are one-thousandth of a mole (1 mmol = 0.001 mol). Millimoles are commonly used in analytical chemistry and medical applications.
Q5: How accurate are the results?
A: The accuracy of the results depends on the precision of the molar mass value entered. The calculator provides results rounded to two decimal places for practical use.
