1. What is mmol to mg Conversion?

The conversion between millimoles (mmol) and milligrams (mg) is a fundamental calculation in chemistry and medicine, allowing conversion between molar quantity and mass based on molecular weight.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

Where:

• \( mmol \) — Millimoles (1/1000 of a mole)
• \( MW \) — Molecular weight in grams per mole (g/mol)
• \( 1000 \) — Conversion factor (mg/g)
• \( mg \) — Resulting milligrams

Explanation: The formula converts the molar quantity to mass by multiplying by the molecular weight and converting grams to milligrams.

3. Importance of Unit Conversion

Details: Accurate unit conversion is essential for medication dosing, laboratory preparations, and chemical calculations where different measurement systems are used.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the mmol value and molecular weight (MW) in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide the equivalent mass in milligrams.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why multiply by 1000 in the formula?
A: The 1000 converts grams to milligrams (1 g = 1000 mg) since molecular weight is in g/mol.

Q2: Can I use this for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the correct molecular weight of the substance.

Q3: What's the difference between mmol and mol?
A: 1 mmol = 0.001 mol (millimole is one thousandth of a mole).

Q4: How do I find molecular weight?
A: Molecular weight is the sum of atomic weights of all atoms in the molecule, available in periodic tables or chemical references.

Q5: Can I convert mg back to mmol?
A: Yes, use the formula: mmol = mg / (MW × 1000).
