To convert parts per million (ppm) to grams per kilometer (g/km), you can use the formula: [ \text{g/km} = \text{ppm} \times \frac{\text{mass of the substance}}{\text{mass of the solution}} \times \frac{1 \text{ km}}{1,000,000 \text{ g}} ] Assuming a 1 kg mass of solution (1,000 g), the conversion simplifies to: [ \text{g/km} = \text{ppm} \times 0.001 ] Thus, for every 1 ppm, you have 0.001 g/km.
ppm stands for parts per minute.
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.
10 ppm = 10/1,000,000 = 1/100,000 = 1/100,000*100% = 0.001%
Yes, micrograms per gram is the same as ppm. Ppm means parts per million. There are a million micrograms in a gram.
