About the concentration — solution converter

Convert mass-based solution concentration between kg/L, g/L, mg/L, ppm, and lb/gal (US). Mass concentration measures grams of solute per liter (or other volume) of solution — useful when molecular weight is unknown or when working with mixed substances.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is mg/L the same as ppm?

    For dilute aqueous solutions, yes — the densities are close enough to 1 g/mL that mg/L ≈ ppm by mass.

  • How many g/L is 1 lb/gal (US)?

    One pound per US gallon equals approximately 119.83 g/L.

  • When should I use mass concentration vs molar concentration?

    Mass concentration when the solute’s molecular weight is unknown or mixed; molar concentration when reactions or stoichiometry matter.
