Mole per liter (molar) quick reference
| Mole per liter (molar) | Millimole per liter | Mole per cubic meter | Micromole per liter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mol/L | = 1000 mmol/L | = 1000 mol/m³ | = 1000000 µmol/L |
| 10 mol/L | = 10000 mmol/L | = 10000 mol/m³ | = 10000000 µmol/L |
| 100 mol/L | = 100000 mmol/L | = 100000 mol/m³ | = 100000000 µmol/L |
| 1000 mol/L | = 1000000 mmol/L | = 1000000 mol/m³ | = 1000000000 µmol/L |
Where the mole per liter fits
The next smaller molar concentration unit is the mole per cubic meter (mol/m³). 1 mol/L = 1000 mol/m³, and 1 mol/m³ = 0.001 mol/L.
