The mol/L to mg/mL conversion calculates mass concentration from molar concentration using the molecular weight of the substance. This is essential in chemistry, pharmacology, and biochemistry for preparing solutions with specific concentrations.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts molar concentration to mass concentration by multiplying by the molecular weight and adjusting for units (mg/mL instead of g/L).
Details: Accurate concentration conversion is crucial for preparing chemical solutions, dosing medications, conducting experiments, and ensuring consistency in scientific and industrial processes.
Tips: Enter molar concentration in mol/L and molecular weight in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in mg/mL.
Q1: Why divide by 1000 in the formula?
A: The division by 1000 converts grams to milligrams (×1000) and liters to milliliters (÷1000), resulting in mg/mL.
Q2: Can this calculator be used for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the molecular weight of the substance and its molar concentration.
Q3: What is the difference between mol/L and mg/mL?
A: mol/L measures molar concentration (number of moles per liter), while mg/mL measures mass concentration (mass of solute per volume of solution).
Q4: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact when using precise molecular weights and concentrations.
Q5: Can I convert mg/mL back to mol/L?
A: Yes, using the reverse formula: mol/L = (mg/mL × 1000) / MW
