Solution Concentration Converter
Convert between different units of solution concentration instantly. Essential for chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical applications.
Conversion Formulas: 1 mol/L = 1 M = 1000 mmol/L = 0.001 kmol/L = 1000 mol/m³ = 1 mol/dm³ = 10⁶ µmol/L = 0.05844 N (1:1) = 58.44 g/L (NaCl) = 5.844% w/v (NaCl) = 0.05844 kg/m³ (NaCl)
About This Solution Concentration Converter
Our Solution Concentration Converter is a specialized tool designed for chemists, biologists, and laboratory professionals working with solution preparations. Concentration measures the amount of solute dissolved in a given quantity of solvent and is crucial for applications ranging from chemical synthesis to medical formulations.
The converter handles all major concentration units including molarity (M), molality, normality (N), and mass-based measurements, with precise conversions between different systems. It’s particularly valuable for translating between molarity (preferred in chemistry) and mass-based units commonly used in pharmaceutical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between molarity and molality?
Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, while molality (m) is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Molarity changes with temperature (as volume changes), while molality remains constant. Our converter focuses on molarity-based units which are more commonly used in laboratory practice.
Why are molar (M) and normal (N) commonly used?
Molar (M) is the standard unit in chemistry representing moles per liter, directly relating to molecular counts. Normality (N) accounts for equivalents per liter, useful in titration and reaction stoichiometry. For 1:1 electrolytes like NaCl, 1 M = 1 N. Our converter handles these relationships automatically.
How do I convert between molarity and mass-based units?
Mass-based conversions require knowing the solute’s molar mass. Our converter uses NaCl (58.44 g/mol) as reference: 1 mol/L = 58.44 g/L = 5.844% w/v. For other substances, you would need to adjust for their specific molar mass.
What are typical concentration values for common solutions?
Physiological saline: ~0.154 M (154 mmol/L), Vinegar: ~0.83 M acetic acid, Household bleach: ~0.8 M sodium hypochlorite, Carbonated drinks: ~0.1 M CO₂. Our converter helps translate these values to other units as needed for various scientific applications.
When would I use mole/cubic meter units?
Mole/cubic meter (mol/m³) is primarily used in engineering applications and some scientific literature where SI units are strictly followed. 1 mol/L = 1000 mol/m³. While less common in chemistry labs, our converter includes this for completeness and specialized applications.
