PPM to Micromolar Formula
The following equation is used to convert PPM to micromolar:
Where:
- μM is micromolar concentration
- PPM is parts per million
- Molar Mass is in grams per mole (g/mol)
To convert from PPM to micromolar, multiply the PPM value by 10^6 and divide by the molar mass of the substance.

Relationship Between PPM and Micromolar (μM)
PPM (Parts Per Million): A unit of concentration that denotes one part of a substance in one million parts of a solution. It is commonly used in chemistry, environmental studies, and engineering to measure very dilute concentrations.
Micromolar (μM): A unit of molar concentration that represents one-millionth (10⁻⁶) of a mole per liter (mol/L). It is widely used in chemistry and biology to express very small molar concentrations of substances.
FAQs
1. Are PPM and μM interchangeable?
Not directly. They relate to different measurement types and require conversion using the substance’s molar mass.
2. Which is larger: PPM or μM?
Depends on the molar mass; typically, PPM values are higher unless the molar mass is very small.
3. What industries use PPM and μM?
Common in chemical labs, water treatment, environmental monitoring, and biological research.
4. What tools measure PPM?
Instruments like spectrophotometers, gas analyzers, and chemical sensors.
5. How accurate is the conversion?
The accuracy depends on the precise value of the molar mass used.
6. Can this calculator be used in reverse (μM to PPM)?
Yes, by rearranging the formula: PPM=μM×Molar Mass106PPM = \frac{μM \times \text{Molar Mass}}{10^6}PPM=106μM×Molar Mass
7. What does 1 μM concentration mean?
1 μM means one micromole of a substance is present in one liter of solution.
