unit of concentration
A lot of the hw questions give concentration in mmol/L instead of mol/L. Must we always convert fo mol/L or can we leave it as mmol/L ?

Re: unit of concentration
I think it depends on the question. If its asking for units of K you could probably use mmol. Same with if its asking which order reaction it is. The question will probably specify-- I don't think you'll get points taken off if you use mmol vs mol.

Re: unit of concentration
unless the question specifically asks for you to convert the units, then you should be fine just solving in whatever units are given

Re: unit of concentration
I believe you must only convert mmol to mol or vice versa if the question explicitly states to do so.

Re: unit of concentration [ENDORSED]
I think the important thing to remember is to make sure that all your units match.
