What is the formula for pounds per gallon to moles per liter?
Use the formula: value in mol/L = value in lb/gal × 0.119826. To convert back, value in lb/gal = value in mol/L × 8.345404.
Is the pounds per gallon to moles per liter conversion exact?
The numeric factor shown (0.119826) is calculated from each unit's defined scale, but Pounds per gallon and Moles per liter belong to different chemistry measurement families (mass concentration vs molar concentration). A direct physical conversion between the two requires them to share the same measurement family; use this figure as a scale reference rather than a like-for-like chemical equivalence.
Where is the pounds per gallon unit commonly used?
It is commonly used in chemistry, environmental testing, water quality analysis, pharmacology, and laboratory concentration reporting. Moles per liter is typically used for molar concentration instead.

About this conversion
Pounds per gallon and Moles per liter are units used in the Universal Converter chemistry category. Pound per Gallon (lb/gal): Mass concentration. Mole per liter (mol/L): Molar concentration.
Pounds per gallon belongs to the mass concentration family, while Moles per liter belongs to the molar concentration family. The chemistry converter is dimension-aware, so a direct conversion between units from different families is not chemically meaningful without extra context (such as a substance's molar mass or solution density); the scale factor above is provided purely for numeric reference.
