Millimoles and Micromoles
Molar concentrations (as millimoles per liter [mmol/L] and micromoles per liter [μmol/L or mcmol/L]) are used in the International System (SI), which is employed in European countries and in many others throughout the world. Milliequivalents are used almost exclusively in the United States to express concentrations of electrolyte ions in a solution; however, millimoles and micromoles are sometimes used in expressions of clinical laboratory values. In some electrolyte solutions, determining the valence of the ions can be quite complicated, such as in the case of the phosphate
ion, which can exist in a monovalent (H2PO
4
), divalent (HPO
4
2−
), or
trivalent (PO
4
3−
) form. Millimoles are often used to express
concentrations in these types of solutions as well.
A mole is the molecular weight of a substance in grams. A millimole is one-thousandth of a mole and is, therefore, the molecular weight of a substance in milligrams. Similarly, a micromole is one-millionth of a mole, which is the molecular weight of a substance in micrograms. For example, the molecular weight of sodium chloride is 58.5 g/mol but can be converted to milligrams and millimoles as follows:
Similarly, the molecular weight can also be converted to micrograms and micromoles. Notice that millimolar conversions do not take into account the valence of an electrolyte as do milliequivalent conversions. Therefore, for monovalent species, the numeric values of the milliequivalent and millimole are identical. Similar to milliequivalents, the millimoles of the compound are equal to the millimoles of the cation, which are equal to the millimoles of the anion, but this does not hold true for the actual weights of the ions.
Example calculations of millimoles and micromoles
The following conversion can be used to convert milligrams to millimoles and vice versa:
The following conversion can be used to convert micrograms to micromoles and vice versa:
1. How many millimoles of monobasic sodium phosphate monohydrate
(m.w. 138) are present in 100 g of the substance?
2. What is the weight, in milligrams, of 5 mmol of potassium phosphate dibasic?
3. Convert the trough plasma range of 0.5 μg/mL to 2 μg/mL for tobramycin (m.w. = 467.52) to mmol/L.

6. A patient is receiving a slow intravenous infusion containing 40 mEq of potassium chloride in 1000 mL of fluid. If, after 12 hours, 720 mL of infusion had been infused, how many millimoles of potassium chloride were administered?

Osmolarity
As indicated in Chapter 11, osmotic pressure is important to biologic processes that involve the diffusion of solutes or the transfer of fluids through semipermeable membranes. The labels of solutions that provide intravenous replenishment of fluid, nutrients, or electrolytes, and the osmotic diuretic mannitol are required to state the osmolar concentration. This information indicates to the practitioner whether the solution is hypoosmotic, isoosmotic, or hyperosmotic with regard to biologic fluids and membranes.
Osmotic pressure is proportional to the total number of particles in solution. The unit used to measure osmotic concentration is the milliosmole (mOsmol). For dextrose, a nonelectrolyte, 1 mmol (1 formula weight in milligrams) represents 1 mOsmol. This relationship is not the same with electrolytes, however, because the total number of particles in solution depends on the degree of dissociation of the substance in question. Assuming complete dissociation, 1 mmol of NaCl represents 2
mOsmol (Na+ + Cl−) of total particles, 1 mmol of CaCl2 represents 3 mOsmol (Ca2+ + 2Cl−) of total particles, and 1 mmol of sodium citrate
(Na3C6H5O7) represents 4 mOsmol (3Na+ + C6H5O
7
) of total particles.
The milliosmolar value of separate ions of an electrolyte may be obtained by dividing the concentration, in milligrams per liter, of the ion by its atomic weight. The milliosmolar value of the whole electrolyte in solution is equal to the sum of the milliosmolar values of the separate ions. According to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the ideal
osmolar concentration may be calculated according to the equation2:
Furthermore, the osmolar concentration is the total of the osmotic concentration of all solutes in a solution, so each solute must be included in the calculation of osmolarity of a particular solution, as example problem 6 demonstrates.

In practice, as the concentration of the solute increases, physicochemical interaction among solute particles increases and actual osmolar values decrease when compared to ideal values. Deviation from ideal conditions is usually slight in solution within the physiologic range and for more dilute solutions, but for highly concentrated solutions, the actual osmolarities may be appreciably lower than ideal values. For example, the ideal osmolarity of 0.9% sodium chloride injection is:
Because of bonding forces, however, the number of species is slightly < 2 for solutions of sodium chloride at this concentration, and the actual measured osmolarity of the solution is about 286 mOsmol/L.
Some pharmaceutical manufacturers label electrolyte solutions with ideal or stoichiometric osmolarities calculated by the equation just provided, whereas others list experimental or actual osmolarities. The pharmacist should be aware of this distinction.
A distinction also should be made between the terms osmolarity and
osmolality. Whereas osmolarity is the milliosmoles of solute per liter of solution, osmolality is the milliosmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
For dilute aqueous solutions, osmolarity and osmolality are nearly identical. For more concentrated solutions, however, the two values may be quite dissimilar. The pharmacist should pay particular attention to a product’s label statement regarding osmolarity versus osmolality.
Normal serum osmolality is considered to be within the range of 275 to 300 mOsmol/kg. The contribution of various constituents to the osmolality of normal serum is shown in Table 12.4. Osmometers are
commercially available for use in the laboratory to measure osmolality.

Abnormal blood osmolality (blood osmolality that deviates from the normal range) can occur in association with shock, trauma, burns, water intoxication (overload), electrolyte imbalance, hyperglycemia, or renal
failure.

Example calculations of milliosmoles
The equation adapted from the USP used in the previous example can be used to determine osmolarity, or the following equation can be used to convert milligrams to milliosmoles and vice versa:
1. A solution contains 10% of anhydrous dextrose in water for injection.
How many milliosmoles per liter are represented by this concentration?
Molecular weight of anhydrous dextrose = 180 Dextrose does not dissociate, therefore the “number of species” = 1
Or, utilizing the equation:

Clinical Considerations of Water and Electrolyte Balance
Maintaining body water and electrolyte balance is an essential component of good health. Water provides the environment in which cells live and is the primary medium for the ingestion of nutrients and the excretion of metabolic waste products. Normally, the osmolality of body fluid is maintained within narrow limits through dietary input, the regulatory
