About Moles per cubic metre
The mole per cubic metre (mol/m³) is the SI coherent unit of molar concentration. It is numerically equal to mmol/L (millimolar), the dominant clinical chemistry unit. Air at STP contains ≈44.6 mol/m³ total; ocean seawater NaCl ≈ 470 mol/m³. 1 mol/m³ = 1 mmol/L = 10⁻³ mol/L.
About Moles per cubic decimetre
The mole per cubic decimetre (mol/dm³) equals 1 000 mol/m³, numerically identical to mol/L. It is the preferred notation in UK A-level and university chemistry curricula and in IUPAC recommendations, where dm³ emphasises the SI volume unit. 1 mol/dm³ = 1 mol/L = 1 M = kmol/m³.
