Millimolarity Formula:
From: | To: |
Millimolarity (mM) is a unit of concentration that represents millimoles per liter of solution. It's commonly used in chemistry and biochemistry to express the concentration of solutions.
The calculator uses the millimolarity formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts grams to moles, then calculates concentration in moles per liter, and finally converts to millimoles per liter by multiplying by 1000.
Details: Accurate millimolarity calculation is crucial for preparing chemical solutions, conducting experiments, and ensuring proper concentrations in biochemical reactions and medical applications.
Tips: Enter the mass in grams, molar mass in g/mol, and volume in liters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: What's the difference between molarity and millimolarity?
A: Molarity (M) is moles per liter, while millimolarity (mM) is millimoles per liter (1 M = 1000 mM).
Q2: When should I use millimolarity instead of molarity?
A: Millimolarity is typically used for lower concentration solutions where using molarity would result in very small decimal values.
Q3: Can this calculator be used for any chemical compound?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct molar mass of the compound and have accurate measurements of mass and volume.
Q4: What if my volume is in milliliters instead of liters?
A: Convert milliliters to liters by dividing by 1000 before entering the value (e.g., 250 mL = 0.25 L).
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: The precision depends on your application. For most laboratory work, measurements should be made with appropriate precision instruments.
