Conversion Formula:
From: | To: |
The mmol to percentage conversion calculates the weight/volume percentage concentration from millimoles per liter, using the substance's molecular weight. This is commonly used in chemistry and medical laboratories.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts molar concentration to percentage concentration by accounting for the substance's molecular weight and appropriate unit conversions.
Details: Converting between different concentration units is essential for preparing solutions, interpreting lab results, and comparing measurements across different systems.
Tips: Enter the mmol/L value and the molecular weight of the substance. Both values must be positive numbers for the calculation to work.
Q1: What does w/v percentage mean?
A: w/v stands for weight/volume percentage, meaning grams of solute per 100 mL of solution.
Q2: Why divide by 10 in the formula?
A: The division by 10 converts from mg/mL (which results from mmol/L × MW) to g/100mL (percentage).
Q3: Can this be used for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct molecular weight of the substance.
Q4: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact, assuming accurate input values.
Q5: When would I need this conversion?
A: Common uses include preparing medical solutions, interpreting lab results, and converting between different concentration units in research.
