Chemical Concentration Converter

Convert between molar, millimolar, and other concentration units.

Understanding the Converter

Chemical concentration measures the amount of a substance (solute) dissolved in another substance (solvent). This tool focuses on molar concentration (molarity), which is fundamental in chemistry.

All conversions use moles per liter (mol/L), also known as Molarity (M), as the base unit for accuracy.

Formula Used

Standardized Conversion Process

Conversions are based on metric prefixes related to the base unit of Moles/Liter (M).

  • 1 Molar (M) = 1 mole/liter
  • 1 Millimolar (mM) = 0.001 moles/liter
  • 1 Micromolar (µM) = 0.000001 moles/liter

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mole?

A mole is a specific number of particles (atoms, molecules), defined as Avogadro's number, approximately 6.022 x 10²³. It's a convenient way for chemists to count atoms and molecules by weighing them.

What is molarity?

Molarity (M) is the most common unit of concentration. It is the number of moles of a substance (solute) dissolved in one liter of a solution.

Why is temperature important for concentration?

Molarity is based on the volume of the solution, which can change with temperature (most liquids expand when heated). For highly precise work, chemists may use molality (moles of solute per kg of solvent), which is independent of temperature.

Summary

This converter is an essential tool for students and professionals in chemistry, biology, and medicine, providing a quick way to convert between different scales of molar concentration.
