Molar to Millimolar Conversion Formula:
| From: | To: |
Molar to millimolar conversion is a fundamental unit conversion in chemistry that transforms concentrations from molar (M) to millimolar (mM) units. This conversion is essential when working with solutions of different concentrations in laboratory settings.
The calculator uses the simple conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: Since 1 mole = 1000 millimoles, multiplying molar concentration by 1000 converts it to millimolar concentration.
Details: Accurate concentration conversion is crucial for preparing solutions, conducting experiments, and interpreting results in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Many laboratory protocols specify concentrations in millimolar units, requiring conversion from molar stock solutions.
Tips: Enter the molar concentration value in the input field. The value must be a non-negative number. The calculator will automatically compute and display the equivalent millimolar concentration.
Q1: Why convert from molar to millimolar?
A: Millimolar units are often more practical for working with dilute solutions commonly used in biological and chemical experiments.
Q2: What's the difference between molar and millimolar?
A: 1 M = 1000 mM. Molar represents moles per liter, while millimolar represents millimoles per liter.
Q3: Can this calculator handle very small concentrations?
A: Yes, the calculator can handle concentrations as small as 0.0001 M (which equals 0.1 mM).
Q4: Is this conversion specific to certain compounds?
A: No, this is a universal unit conversion that applies to all substances since it's based on the definition of moles and millimoles.
Q5: How precise is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact (1 M always equals 1000 mM), but the precision of your result depends on the precision of your input value.
