mg/ml to Molarity Calculator
This mg ml to molarity calculator helps convert the concentration of a solution expressed in milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml) to molarity (M).
Molarity is a common unit of concentration in chemistry, defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
The conversion between mg/ml and molarity is crucial because different scientific applications and protocols may use different units of concentration.
To convert mg/ml to molarity (M), you need to know the molecular weight (MW) of the protein in g/mol. The formula is as follows:
$$
\text{Molarity (M)} = \frac{\text{Concentration in mg/ml}}{\text{Molecular Weight in g/mol}} \times 1000
$$
- Identify the protein’s concentration in mg/ml.
- Find the molecular weight of the protein (usually provided in g/mol).
- Apply the formula to calculate the molarity.
Take an example, if you have a protein concentration of 50 mg/ml and the molecular weight is 50,000 g/mol (or 50 kDa):
$$
\text{Molarity (M)} = \frac{50 \text{ mg/ml}}{50,000 \text{ g/mol}} \times 1000 = 1 \text{ mM}
$$
mg/ml to Molarity Calculation Formula
The formula to convert mg/ml to molarity is:
Molarity (M) = (Concentration in mg/ml) / (Molar mass of the solute in g/mol)
To use this formula, you need to know:
- The concentration of the solution in mg/ml
- The molar mass of the solute in g/mol
This formula assumes the density of the solution is approximately 1 g/ml, which is often a reasonable assumption for dilute aqueous solutions.

How do you convert micrograms per ml to molarity?
Converting micrograms per ml (μg/ml) to molarity involves an additional step because we need to convert micrograms to milligrams first.
Here’s the process:
- Convert μg/ml to mg/ml by dividing by 1000 (since 1 mg = 1000 μg)
- Use the mg/ml to molarity formula
The formula becomes:
Molarity (M) = (Concentration in μg/ml / 1000) / (Molar mass of the solute in g/mol)
How do you convert mg/L to molar?
Converting mg/L to molar is similar to converting mg/ml to molarity. In fact, mg/L is equivalent to mg/ml because 1 liter of water has a mass of approximately 1000 grams.
The formula remains the same:
Molarity (M) = (Concentration in mg/L) / (Molar mass of the solute in g/mol)
How do you convert g/mL to molarity?
To convert g/mL to molarity, we need to convert grams to milligrams first.
The process is as follows:
- Convert g/mL to mg/mL by multiplying by 1000 (since 1 g = 1000 mg)
- Use the mg/ml to molarity formula
The formula becomes:
Molarity (M) = (Concentration in g/mL * 1000) / (Molar mass of the solute in g/mol)
How do you convert mL to molar concentration?
To find the molar concentration, you need additional information:
- The mass of the solute dissolved in the solution
- The total volume of the solution in liters
- The molar mass of the solute
Once you have this information, you can calculate the molarity using the following steps:
- Calculate the number of moles of solute: moles = mass of solute (g) / molar mass (g/mol)
- Convert the volume from mL to L: volume in L = volume in mL / 1000
- Calculate molarity: Molarity (M) = moles of solute / volume of solution (L)
What is 1 mg per ml in molarity?
Let’s consider an example using sodium chloride (NaCl), which has a molar mass of 58.44 g/mol.
Using the formula:
Molarity (M) = (Concentration in mg/ml) / (Molar mass of the solute in g/mol)
Molarity = 1 mg/ml / 58.44 g/mol
Molarity ≈ 0.0171 M
For NaCl, 1 mg/ml is approximately 0.0171 M. Remember that this value will be different for substances with different molar masses.
What is 100 mg/ml to molarity?
To convert 100 mg/ml to molarity, we’ll use the sodium chloride (NaCl) as an example.
Molarity (M) = (Concentration in mg/ml) / (Molar mass of the solute in g/mol)
Molarity = 100 mg/ml / 58.44 g/mol
Molarity ≈ 1.71 M
For NaCl, 100 mg/ml is approximately 1.71 M. Again, this value will differ for substances with different molar masses.
What is 1% concentration in mg/ml?
A 1% concentration means 1 gram of solute per 100 mL of solution. To convert this to mg/ml:
1 g / 100 mL = 1000 mg / 100 mL = 10 mg/mL
A 1% concentration is equivalent to 10 mg/ml.
mg/ml to Molarity Conversion Table
Substance | Molar Mass (g/mol) | 1 mg/ml (M) | 10 mg/ml (M) | 100 mg/ml (M) |
---|---|---|---|---|
NaCl | 58.44 | 0.0171 | 0.171 | 1.71 |
Glucose | 180.16 | 0.00555 | 0.0555 | 0.555 |
KCl | 74.55 | 0.0134 | 0.134 | 1.34 |
NaOH | 40.00 | 0.0250 | 0.250 | 2.50 |
H2SO4 | 98.08 | 0.0102 | 0.102 | 1.02 |
To calculate these values, we used the formula:
Molarity (M) = (Concentration in mg/ml) / (Molar mass of the solute in g/mol)
For example, for NaCl at 1 mg/ml:
Molarity = 1 mg/ml / 58.44 g/mol ≈ 0.0171 M
