How it converts

Result = value × (factor of the unit you convert from) ÷ (factor of the unit you convert to), every factor being the size of the unit in mol:
1 mmol = 0.001 mol
1 µmol = 1 × 10-6 mol

Worked example

250 mmol = 250 × 0.001 ÷ 1 = 0.25 mol.

Quick reference

From the Knowledge Base

How many water molecules are there in 36.0 g of water?

Step 1 — molar mass of H₂O:
H: 2 × 1.008 = 2.016 · O: 1 × 15.999 = 15.999 · M = 18.015 ≈ 18.02 g/mol

Step 2 — moles:
n = 36.0 ÷ 18.02 = 2.00 mol

Step 3 — molecules:
N = 2.00 × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.204 × 10²⁴ molecules

Bonus: each H₂O molecule contains 3 atoms, so the sample holds 3 × 1.204 × 10²⁴ = 3.613 × 10²⁴ atoms. Read the question carefully — "molecules" and "atoms" are different answers.

From the Knowledge Base

What is the mass of 0.25 mol of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃?

Molar mass:
Ca: 1 × 40.078 = 40.078 · C: 1 × 12.011 = 12.011 · O: 3 × 15.999 = 47.997
M = 40.078 + 12.011 + 47.997 = 100.086 ≈ 100.09 g/mol

m = n × M = 0.25 × 100.09 = 25.02 g
