How to convert molarity (M) to mg/mL

  1. Enter the value in molarity (M) above. The unit is already set.
  2. Type the chemical formula (NaCl, C6H12O6) or the molar mass in g/mol. For a protein, use its mass in daltons: 66,500 for BSA.
  3. The table shows the concentration in mg/mL and in every other unit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula to convert molarity (M) to mg/mL?

Concentration in g/L = molarity × molar mass, so a mass concentration divided by the molar mass gives moles per litre. Convert the prefixes from there: 1 mg/mL is 1 g/L, 1 µg/mL is 1 mg/L.

What is 1 M of NaCl in mg/mL?

NaCl has a molar mass of 58.44 g/mol, so 1 M is 58.44 mg/mL.

Why do I need the molar mass?

Molarity (M) and mg/mL measure different things: one counts mass, the other counts molecules. The molar mass, in grams per mole, links them, so the same mass of a heavy molecule is fewer moles.
