Concentration Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator converts moles of a substance to concentration in milligrams per liter (mg/L) using molar mass and solution volume.
Purpose: It helps chemists, biologists, and researchers quickly convert between moles and concentration units for solution preparation.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The moles are multiplied by molar mass to get grams, converted to milligrams (×1000), then divided by volume in liters.
Details: Accurate concentration calculations are essential for preparing solutions in chemistry experiments, medical applications, and industrial processes.
Tips: Enter the moles of substance, its molar mass (from periodic table), and solution volume in liters. All values must be > 0.
Q1: Why multiply by 1000 in the calculation?
A: We multiply by 1000 to convert grams to milligrams (1 g = 1000 mg).
Q2: How do I find molar mass?
A: Sum the atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule (available on periodic tables).
Q3: Can I use this for any chemical?
A: Yes, as long as you know its molar mass and the solution volume.
Q4: What if my volume is in mL?
A: Convert mL to L by dividing by 1000 before entering (1 L = 1000 mL).
Q5: How precise should my inputs be?
A: Use at least 4-6 significant figures for accurate results in scientific work.
