Millimoles are a unit of measurement based of mole, which measures the amount of substance in something that has an equal number of atoms and elementary entities. Millimoles are calculated by multiplying the amount of moles by 1,000.
A mole is Avogadro's Number (6.022 x 1023) of molecules, not a unit of weight.
A shorthand conversion is to multiply the number of millimoles by the molecular weight of the substance. This leaves out the (mutually-cancelling) 1000x conversions between moles and millimoles, and grams and milligrams.
Short example for water: 10 millimoles x 18g/mol (M.W. of water) = 180 mg
Long example for water: 10mmol x (1mol/1000 mmol) x 18 g/mol x 1000 mg/g = 180 mg
Well a micromole is 1millionth of a mole. A milligram is 1millionth of a kilogram. Sadly, we usually work in grams when considering moles since (A): It is convenient given most reagents in labs are used in gram quanities, or thereabouts. (B): No element weights less than 1 gram per mol (>_> unless you had pure 1H...nah) and no element weights near a Kg per mol.
Anyhow, we know that mols = mass/mr. Which means mols = grams/molecular weight.
So find what you're converting and count up it's molecular weight. Then we can rearrange to make it:
grams = mols x molecular weight. So we know our equation, now. So now all you have to do is make sure your magnitudes are correct. The easiest way to do this and think about this is as it's outlined at the top of the answer. Just convert it all into grams since that's what this equation wants.
1micromole = millionth of a mol = 1x10^-6 (so 5 micrograms = 5x10^-6)
So in the above example, if you had 5 micromoles...don't put 5micromoles into the equation. Put 5x10^-6 moles. Same number, better units.
Then put in the molecular weight of your sample, get the product. This will now be in grams.
How to convert it into grams? Well say we put in 5x10^-6 moles into the equation and your molecular weight is 100.
100 x 5x10^-6 = 5x10^-4grams
1000milligrams = 1. So times 5x10^-4 by 1000 and you get 0.5 grams.
This kind of thing takes practice and most people have their own set method to work them out quickly with no mistakes. Just practice.
A millimole is one thousandth of a mole. So multiply moles by 1000 to get millimoles. A one molar solution has one mole of solute per liter of solution. A one millimolar solution has one millimole of solute per liter of solution.
take the quantity in milligrams then divided by molecular mass gives you the millimoles.....
There are 1000 millimoles in a mole. Therefore, you have to multiply by 1000 to convert moles to millimoles.
The formula is number of moles is mass/ molecular mass. This is also true of no millimoles = milligrams / molecular mass. So You have to multiply by the molecular mass.
convert 100mg pyrazine to millimole
Millimole is 1000th of a mole which is 10^-3
Milli means one thousandth. So there are 1000 millimoles in a mole. Therefore 56/1000 gives you 0.056 moles.
You obtain 10 millimoles of ferric chloride and dissolve it in a liter of water.
Milli means 1/1000 (compare millimetres), so it's 1/10 mole
Millimole per litre is a unit for small concentrations; sometimes used for pharmaceutical solutions.
There are 1000 millimoles in a mole. So you need to divide by 1000 here. 1250 millimoles / 1000 is 1.25 moles.
Millimole is 1000th of a mole which is 10^-3
For this you need the atomic mass of Ca. Take the number of grams and divide it by the atomic mass. Multiply by one mole for units to cancel.125 grams Ca / (40.1 grams) = 3.12 moles Ca

Milli means one thousandth. So there are 1000 millimoles in a mole. Therefore 56/1000 gives you 0.056 moles.
You need to divide by 1000 here. This is because there are 1000 millimoles in a mole. 2.55/1000 gives you 0.00255 moles.
The molecular weight of water is 18g/mol. There are 0.00325 moles in 3.25 millimoles. 0.00325*18 is 0.0585 grams. This is 0.0000585 kilograms.
Approx. 12 millimoles/L.
100 millimoles is 0.1 moles. To convert moles to grams, you need to multiply by the molecular weight, in this case, 194.22g/mol. 0.1*194.22 is 19.422 grams.
Because the formula for calculating moles is dividing grams by the molecular weight. The molecular weight for glucose is 180. grams to moles is also the same as milligrams to millimoles.
The molecular weight of sodium hydroxide is 40g/mol. To get the amount of moles, you have to divide the weight by molecular mass. 12g / 40 is 0.3 moles. This is 300 millimoles.
Assuming that "mM" means "millimolar", the solution specified contains 6 millimoles of ammonium sulphate per liter. Therefore, 25 ml of the solution contains 6(25/1000) = 0.15 millimoles. By definition, there are 1000 micromoles per millimole. Therefore, 0.15 millimoles = 150 micromoles.
