Molar Conversion Formula:
From: | To: |
Millimolar (mM) to Molar (M) conversion is a simple unit conversion used in chemistry to convert concentrations from millimolar to molar units. This conversion is particularly useful for aqueous solutions where concentration measurements are commonly expressed in different scales.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: Since 1 molar equals 1000 millimolar, dividing millimolar value by 1000 gives the equivalent molar concentration.
Details: Molar concentration is a fundamental concept in chemistry used to express the concentration of a solute in a solution. Accurate conversion between different concentration units is essential for preparing solutions, conducting experiments, and interpreting analytical results.
Tips: Enter the millimolar concentration value. The value must be a positive number. The calculator will automatically convert it to molar concentration.
Q1: What is the difference between molar and millimolar?
A: Molar (M) represents moles per liter, while millimolar (mM) represents millimoles per liter. 1 M = 1000 mM.
Q2: Why is this conversion important for water solutions?
A: Water is the most common solvent in chemistry and biology. Concentration measurements are frequently reported in both molar and millimolar units depending on the context and concentration level.
Q3: Can this conversion be used for other solvents?
A: While the mathematical conversion is the same, the actual concentration may vary slightly due to density differences in other solvents compared to water.
Q4: What are typical concentration ranges measured in millimolar?
A: Millimolar concentrations are commonly used for biological samples, electrolyte solutions, and dilute chemical solutions where molar concentrations would be impractically small numbers.
Q5: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact since it's a simple unit conversion factor. The precision depends on the accuracy of the original millimolar measurement.
