Can you help me convert from nanomoles/liter to picograms/liter?

Asked by nikipedia (28077points) February 8th, 2012

I think sometime in 2003 when I took general chemistry I must have done this correctly at least once on an exam. But I have been doing this problem over and over, and I can’t get a logical answer.

I am reading a paper that measures progesterone levels in nmol/L. I need to convert this to pg/mL.

I think the relevant conversion factor is the molecular weight of progesterone, which is about 314 grams per mole.

But when I work it all out, I am off by 9 orders of magnitude.

Help!
