In my lab book it shows an example of:

mL NaOH = 21.35 - 1.18 = 20.17 mL
 20.17 mL x 0.5172 M = 10.432 millimoles NaOH
 10.432 mmol NaOH neutralized 10.432 mmol acetic acid
 10.432 mmol acetic acid / 22.35 mL = 0.4668 mmol/mL = 0.4668 mol/L <----[This part right here]
 Acetic acid was 0.4668 M
 

Why is it still the same number from mmol/L to mol/L? Did they forget to convert it? Maybe I'm wrong.. thoughts?
