Millimole Calculation:
| From: | To: |
A millimole (mmol) is one-thousandth of a mole, the SI unit of amount of substance. It's commonly used in chemistry and biochemistry to express amounts of chemical compounds.
The calculator uses the millimole formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula converts the mass of a substance to millimoles by accounting for its molecular weight and the conversion factor between moles and millimoles.
Details: Accurate millimole calculation is essential for preparing solutions with specific concentrations, conducting chemical reactions with precise stoichiometry, and performing various laboratory measurements in chemistry and life sciences.
Tips: Enter the mass in grams and molecular weight in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the result in millimoles (mmol).
Q1: What's the difference between moles and millimoles?
A: A millimole is exactly 1/1000th of a mole. Millimoles are often more convenient for working with smaller quantities typically encountered in laboratory settings.
Q2: How do I find the molecular weight of a compound?
A: Molecular weight is calculated by summing the atomic weights of all atoms in a molecule. You can find this information in chemical databases, reference books, or on chemical product labels.
Q3: Can I use this calculator for any chemical compound?
A: Yes, as long as you know the exact mass and molecular weight of the compound, this calculator will work for any chemical substance.
Q4: Why multiply by 1000 in the formula?
A: The factor of 1000 converts from moles to millimoles, since 1 mole = 1000 millimoles.
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: The precision needed depends on your application. For most laboratory work, measuring mass to 0.0001g and using molecular weights with appropriate significant figures is sufficient.
