Unit Explanations
Millimole per Cubic Centimetermmol/cm³
Source UnitThe millimole per cubic centimeter (mmol/cm³) is a unit of concentration that expresses the amount of a substance (in millimoles) contained in a cubic centimeter of solution or mixture. It is commonly used in the fields of chemistry and medicine to quantify the concentration of solutes in solutions, particularly in biochemistry where it can be critical to understand concentrations of metabolites, drugs, and other biochemical substances. One millimole is equivalent to 1/1000 of a mole, which is the amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as there are in 0.012 kilograms of carbon-12. Therefore, 1 mmol/cm³ indicates that there are 1 millimole of a solute in every cubic centimeter of solution, making it an essential measurement in both research and clinical settings.
Current Use
In contemporary science and medicine, millimoles per cubic centimeter is extensively utilized for measuring concentrations of various substances in solutions. In clinical laboratories, it is crucial for determining blood glucose levels, electrolyte concentrations, and drug levels in patients. This unit is particularly prevalent in biochemistry, where scientists often measure concentrations of enzymes, hormones, and other biomolecules in cellular and physiological studies. In pharmacology, dosing regimens for medications are frequently calculated using this unit to ensure therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing toxicity. Additionally, in environmental science, the concentration of pollutants in water samples is measured in mmol/cm³ to assess water quality. Countries like the United States and members of the European Union commonly employ this unit in both research and clinical practices, reflecting its importance in global health and scientific research.
Fun Fact
The millimole per cubic centimeter is often used in blood tests to quantify substances like glucose and cholesterol.
Mole per Cubic Metermol/m³
Target UnitThe mole per cubic meter (mol/m³) is a derived unit of concentration in the International System of Units (SI) that quantifies the amount of substance (in moles) present in a cubic meter of volume. This unit is vital in chemistry, physics, and engineering, as it provides a clear measure of how much of a chemical species exists within a specified volume of space. For example, in a solution, it can indicate how many moles of solute are present in one cubic meter of solvent. This unit is crucial for calculations involving reactions, concentrations, and various applications in scientific research and industry.
Current Use
The mole per cubic meter is extensively used across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and chemical engineering. In pharmaceuticals, it helps in formulating drug concentrations for solutions and reactions. Environmental scientists utilize it to measure pollutant concentrations in air and water, which is crucial for assessing environmental health. Chemical engineers apply this unit in reactor design and optimization, ensuring adequate concentrations for chemical reactions. Countries like the United States, Germany, and Japan regularly employ the mole per cubic meter in scientific studies, regulatory frameworks, and educational institutions, ensuring that standardized measurements are maintained in research and industrial applications. Its widespread use emphasizes the importance of accurate concentration measures in both theoretical and applied sciences.
Fun Fact

Definition
The millimole per cubic centimeter (mmol/cm³) is a unit of concentration that expresses the amount of a substance (in millimoles) contained in a cubic centimeter of solution or mixture. It is commonly used in the fields of chemistry and medicine to quantify the concentration of solutes in solutions, particularly in biochemistry where it can be critical to understand concentrations of metabolites, drugs, and other biochemical substances. One millimole is equivalent to 1/1000 of a mole, which is the amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as there are in 0.012 kilograms of carbon-12. Therefore, 1 mmol/cm³ indicates that there are 1 millimole of a solute in every cubic centimeter of solution, making it an essential measurement in both research and clinical settings.
History & Origin
The concept of molarity and thus millimoles per cubic centimeter originated in the early 19th century as chemists began to develop more precise methods for measuring concentrations of solutions. The mole, as a unit of measurement, was established in the early 1900s during the development of the International System of Units (SI), which standardized many measurements in science. The millimole, specifically, was introduced as a practical subunit to facilitate calculations involving smaller quantities of substances, allowing chemists and biochemists to work with concentrations more easily. Its integration with volume measurements in cubic centimeters was a natural development as laboratory practices evolved to include volumetric analysis.
Etymology: The term 'millimole' derives from the prefix 'milli-', meaning one-thousandth, combined with 'mole', which is a fundamental unit in chemistry indicating a specific quantity of particles.
