1. What is G/L to Mmol/L Conversion?

This calculator converts concentration from grams per liter (g/L) to millimoles per liter (mmol/L) for fractional values. It's particularly useful in chemistry and biochemistry when working with solutions of known molecular weight.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ \text{mmol/L} = \frac{\text{num}}{\text{den}} \text{g/L} \times \frac{1000}{\text{MW}} \]

Where:

\( \text{num} \) — Numerator of the fraction (unitless)
\( \text{den} \) — Denominator of the fraction (unitless)
\( \text{MW} \) — Molecular weight (g/mol)
1000 — Conversion factor from moles to millimoles

Explanation: The formula first calculates the actual concentration in g/L by dividing the numerator by denominator, then converts this to mmol/L using the molecular weight.

3. Importance of Unit Conversion

Details: Converting between mass concentration (g/L) and molar concentration (mmol/L) is essential for preparing solutions, performing stoichiometric calculations, and comparing concentrations of different substances.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the numerator and denominator of your fraction, and the molecular weight of the compound. All values must be positive numbers (denominator and MW must be > 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why convert g/L to mmol/L?
A: Molar concentration (mmol/L) is often more useful in chemical reactions and biological systems as it relates to the number of molecules rather than their mass.

Q2: How do I find the molecular weight?
A: Molecular weight is the sum of atomic weights of all atoms in the molecule. You can find it in chemical databases or calculate from the chemical formula.

Q3: What if my fraction is a whole number?
A: Simply enter the whole number as numerator and 1 as denominator.

Q4: Can I use this for mixtures?
A: This calculator is for single compounds. For mixtures, you need to calculate each component separately.

Q5: What about very dilute solutions?
A: The calculator works for any concentration, but for very dilute solutions you might want to use μmol/L instead (divide result by 1000).
