g/mol
L

Results

Molarity

1 M

Moles of Solute1 mol
Millimolarity1,000 mM
Concentration58.44 g/L
How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter solute mass in grams and molecular weight (g/mol).
  2. Set solution volume in liters.
  3. Review Molarity (M), Moles of Solute, Millimolarity (mM), and Concentration (g/L).

How the result changes with Molecular Weight

Molecular WeightMolarity
10,0000.00584 M
35,0000.00167 M
65,0000.0009 M
90,0000.00065 M

What each input means

Solute Mass
Mass of solute dissolved in the solution (e.g., 58.44 g for 1 mol NaCl)
Molecular Weight
Molar mass of the solute — find on the periodic table or compound data sheet
Solution Volume
Total volume of the solution in liters (1 L = 1000 mL)

How this is calculated

Formula

M = (mass / MW) / V

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Solute Mass = 58.44, Molecular Weight = 58.44, Solution Volume = 1 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Molarity
    Molarity
    1 = 1
  3. Calculate Moles of Solute
    Moles of Solute
    1 = 1
  4. Calculate Millimolarity
    Millimolarity
    1000 = 1000
