parts per billion to molarity
Please provide values below to convert parts per billion [ppb] to molarity [mol/L], or change ↔.
parts per billion [ppb]
Definition: Parts per billion (ppb) is a unit used to describe extremely dilute concentrations of substances, representing one part of solute per billion parts of solution.
Historyandorigin: Parts per billion is an extension of the ppm concept, used when concentrations are too small to be expressed in ppm.
CurrentUse: It is often used in environmental monitoring, especially for trace pollutants or substances like pesticides, heavy metals, or gases in the air.
funfact: 1 ppb is equivalent to 1 microgram of solute in one liter of water—great for measuring incredibly low concentrations like toxins or pollutants!
molarity [mol/L]
Definition: Molarity (mol/L) is a unit of concentration used in chemistry, defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Historyandorigin: The unit of molarity was introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in the early 20th century to quantify the concentration of solutions.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in laboratory settings for preparing and diluting chemical solutions, particularly in acid-base titrations and reactions.
funfact: A 1 M solution contains one mole of solute in exactly one liter of solution!

How to Convert parts per billion to molarity
1 parts per billion [ppb] = 1.E-9 molarity [mol/L]
1 molarity [mol/L] = 1000000000 parts per billion [ppb]
we use cross multiplication method
parts per billion [ppb] → molarity [mol/L]
1 → 1.E-9
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-9=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-9
