Here's the breakdown:
* Millimole (mmol): A unit of amount of substance, equal to one-thousandth of a mole.
* Mole (mol): The standard unit of amount of substance in the International System of Units (SI). It represents a specific number of particles (6.022 x 10^23, Avogadro's number).
* Molecular Weight (g/mol): The mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole.
Conversion Formula:
```
grams = millimoles * molecular weight / 1000
```
Example:
Let's say you have 5 millimoles of sodium chloride (NaCl). The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol.
* grams = 5 mmol * 58.44 g/mol / 1000
* grams = 0.2922 g
Therefore, 5 millimoles of sodium chloride is equal to 0.2922 grams.
