1. What is Mmol to Percentage Conversion?

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.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ \% (w/v) = \frac{mmol/L \times MW}{10} \]

Where:

\( mmol/L \) — Millimoles per liter
\( MW \) — Molecular weight in grams per mole (g/mol)
10 — Conversion factor

Explanation: The formula converts molar concentration to percentage concentration by accounting for the substance's molecular weight and appropriate unit conversions.

3. Importance of Concentration Conversion

Details: Converting between different concentration units is essential for preparing solutions, interpreting lab results, and comparing measurements across different systems.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the mmol/L value and the molecular weight of the substance. Both values must be positive numbers for the calculation to work.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
