The two are unrelated. ppm means "parts per million", so the amount of grams for 1 ppm will also depend on the size of the sample. For example, if you have a sample of one ton, 1 ppm (a millionth of it) would be 1 gram; if your sample has a mass of one kilogram, 1 ppm would be 1 milligram, etc.

Yes, micrograms per gram is the same as ppm. Ppm means parts per million. There are a million micrograms in a gram.
1 gram = 1000000 micro gram 50 kilogram = 50 x 1000 x 1000000 = 50000000000 micro grams
None. A gram is a measure of mass. ppm is a measure of concentration or the ratio of two masses (or even two volumes). The two measure different things and, according to elementary rules of dimensional analysis, comparing one with the other is not valid.
This question doesn't make sense. This is because the term parts per million means either weight per weight i.e. micrograms per gram or milligrams per kilograms, or weight per volume, i.e. milligrams per litre or micrograms per millilitre.
1000. The prefix milli means "one thousandth of a" just like the prefix micro means "one millionth of a". So if a milligram is one thousandth of a gram the there are 1000 of them in one gram.
