Millimolar to PPM Formula:
From: | To: |
Millimolar to PPM conversion is a chemical calculation that converts concentration from millimolar units (mM) to parts per million (PPM) using the atomic or molecular mass of the substance.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: This conversion is based on the relationship between molar concentration and mass concentration, where 1 mM = 1 mmol/L and PPM represents mg/L.
Details: PPM calculations are essential in chemistry, environmental science, and industry for expressing dilute concentrations, water quality measurements, and chemical solution preparations.
Tips: Enter millimolar concentration and atomic/molecular mass in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.
Q1: What is the difference between mM and PPM?
A: mM (millimolar) is a molar concentration unit (mmol/L), while PPM (parts per million) is a mass concentration unit (mg/L).
Q2: When should I use this conversion?
A: Use this conversion when you need to express molar concentrations as mass concentrations, particularly in analytical chemistry and environmental testing.
Q3: Does this work for compounds as well as elements?
A: Yes, use the molecular mass for compounds instead of atomic mass for accurate conversion.
Q4: Are there any limitations to this conversion?
A: This conversion assumes ideal conditions and may need adjustment for very high concentrations or specific temperature/pressure conditions.
Q5: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact when using correct atomic/molecular mass values and proper significant figures.
