SUMMARY

This discussion provides a clear method for converting density from mol/L to kg/m³, emphasizing the importance of knowing the molar mass of the substance involved. It states that 1 mole of Hydrogen weighs 0.002 kg, while 1 mole of plutonium weighs 0.24 kg, highlighting the necessity of using the correct molar mass in g/mol or kg/kmol for accurate conversions. Additionally, it clarifies that 1 liter is equivalent to 0.001 m³, reinforcing the relationship between liters and cubic meters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molar mass and its units (g/mol, kg/kmol)
  • Basic knowledge of volume conversions (liters to cubic meters)
  • Familiarity with density calculations
  • Knowledge of SI units and their relationships
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the concept of molar mass and its significance in chemical calculations
  • Learn about density and its applications in various scientific fields
  • Explore the conversion factors between different volume units, particularly liters and cubic meters
  • Investigate the properties of specific substances to understand their molar masses
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, students in chemistry or related fields, and anyone involved in scientific calculations requiring density conversions will benefit from this discussion.

How to convert density from mol/L to kg/m3?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Litre to m^3 is easy, there are 1000 l in a m^3
To convert moles to mass you have to know the mass of the substance you are dealing with.
1 mole of Hydrogen is 0.002 kg, 1 mole of plutonium is 0.24 kg
 
you need the molar mass in g/mol or however it is measured.

What is the volume of 1 litre in SI units?

Hint: 1 cm3 = 1 mL
 
The molar mass of the substance is 116.95 lbm/lbmol or kg/kmol.
