Well, that doesn't yet give you moles/liter. You next divide by the formula/molecular/atomic weight (in grams/mole) to give millimoles per liter. Then divide by 1000 for moles/liter. A calculator would need to still know which chemical you are converting.
And in the case of nitrate/nitrite/ammonia you need to know if it is expressed as mg N per L or mg NO3/NO2/NH4 per L.
