The conversion from molarity (mol/L) to concentration in grams per milliliter (g/mL) is a fundamental calculation in chemistry that allows researchers to convert between molar concentration and mass concentration units using the molar mass of the substance.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula converts the number of moles per liter to grams per milliliter by multiplying molarity by molar mass and dividing by 1000 to account for the volume conversion from liters to milliliters.
Details: This conversion is essential in laboratory settings for preparing solutions with specific mass concentrations, calculating dosages in pharmaceutical applications, and converting between different concentration units in chemical analyses.
Tips: Enter the molarity in mol/L and the molar mass in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the concentration in g/mL.
Q1: Why divide by 1000 in the formula?
A: We divide by 1000 because there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, converting from per liter to per milliliter units.
Q2: Can this calculator be used for any chemical compound?
A: Yes, as long as you know the molar mass of the compound and its molar concentration, this conversion works for any substance.
Q3: What's the difference between mol/L and g/mL?
A: mol/L measures concentration in moles per liter (number of particles), while g/mL measures mass concentration in grams per milliliter (mass of substance).
Q4: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input values for molarity and molar mass.
Q5: Can I convert back from g/mL to mol/L?
A: Yes, you can rearrange the formula: mol/L = (g/mL × 1000) / molar mass.
