Millimoles
Millimoles is a unit of measurement used in Chemistry and Biochemistry to quantify the amount of a particular substance. It is a subunit of the mole, which is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI).
Definition[edit | edit source]
A millimole (mmol) is one-thousandth of a mole. The mole is defined as the amount of a substance that contains as many entities (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) as there are in 12 grams of pure carbon-12. Therefore, one millimole of a substance contains 1/1000 of this number of entities.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Millimoles are commonly used in chemistry and biochemistry to express concentrations of substances in solutions. For example, the concentration of a solute in a solution can be expressed in millimoles per liter (molar concentration). In clinical chemistry, millimoles are often used to express the concentration of substances in blood or urine.
Conversion[edit | edit source]
To convert from moles to millimoles, one can use the conversion factor of 1 mole = 1000 millimoles. Conversely, to convert from millimoles to moles, one can use the conversion factor of 1 millimole = 0.001 moles.
