Concentration Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator converts the amount of substance in moles to concentration in milligrams per liter (mg/L) using molar mass and volume.
Purpose: It helps chemists, students, and researchers quickly convert between moles and concentration units for solutions.
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, conducting experiments, and analyzing results in chemistry.
Tips: Enter the amount in moles, molar mass of the compound (sum of atomic masses), 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 the molar mass of a compound?
A: Sum the atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule (from the periodic table).
Q3: Can I use this for any chemical compound?
A: Yes, as long as you know its molar mass and have it dissolved in solution.
Q4: What if my volume is in mL instead of L?
A: Convert mL to L by dividing by 1000 (500 mL = 0.5 L) before entering.
Q5: How precise should my measurements be?
A: Use appropriate significant figures based on your measuring equipment's precision.
