Molarity Conversion Formula:
From: | To: |
Ng/mL to molarity conversion is a calculation used in chemistry and biochemistry to convert concentration measurements from nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) to molarity (mol/L), which is the standard unit for concentration in the International System of Units (SI).
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula converts nanograms to grams (1 ng = 10⁻⁹ g), then calculates the number of moles per liter of solution.
Details: Molarity is essential in chemical reactions, solution preparation, and biological assays where precise concentration measurements are required for accurate experimental results.
Tips: Enter concentration in ng/mL and molecular weight in g/mol. Both values must be positive numbers. The result will be displayed in mol/L (molar).
Q1: Why convert ng/mL to molarity?
A: Molarity allows scientists to compare concentrations across different compounds and is essential for stoichiometric calculations in chemical reactions.
Q2: What's the difference between ng/mL and molarity?
A: ng/mL is a mass/volume measurement, while molarity (mol/L) is a mole/volume measurement that accounts for the molecular weight of the substance.
Q3: Can this conversion be used for any substance?
A: Yes, as long as you know the molecular weight of the substance, you can convert between ng/mL and molarity.
Q4: How precise is this conversion?
A: The precision depends on the accuracy of your input values. The calculator provides results with up to 9 decimal places for high precision.
Q5: What if my molecular weight is in Daltons?
A: Daltons (Da) are equivalent to g/mol, so you can use the value directly without conversion.
