The only way that you can relate micrograms [mass unit] to millilitres[volume unit] is if you have a substance of known density.

Density = mass / volume. For example, pure water has a density of 1 gram per millilitre, or 1000000 migrograms / millilitre.

The number of micrograms in a milliliter depends on the density or concentration of the substance. To convert from milliliters to micrograms, you would need to know the density of the substance in question.

This question cannot be answered sensibly. A millilitre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A microgram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a microgram of air and a microgram of lead. They will have very different volumes.

One is a measure of mass, the other is a unit of volume, so you can't have a standard conversion. For a specific substance, you would need to know the density of the substance, and then use the relationship:mass = volume x density

None, since there can be no conversion.

A microgram is a measure of mass. A millilitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.


Consider a millilitre of air. How many micrograms? Next consider the same volume of water. How many micrograms?


The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

How many micrograms in a millitre?

grams are weight, litres are volume if it's water then 1,000,000 micrograms = 1 millilitre


Is a nurse is to administer 240 micrograms and has 200 micrograms per mililiter how many miligrmas should be?

You will have over a millilitre for a start. If you administer 1ml, you administer 200ug. 240-200ug is 40ug still needed. 40/200 is 1 fifth or 0.2 of a millilitre. Therefore 1+0.2 is 1.2ml needed to be administered.


How many parts per million in 1000 micrograms per milliliter of iron in solution?

1000 micrograms is 1 milligram. so this is 1 milligram per millilitre, i.e. 1000 milligrams per litre. Parts per million is milligrams per litre. Therefore there are 1000ppm in 1000 micrograms per millilitre.


How many mL is 700 micrograms?

There can be no equivalence. A microgram is a measure of mass. A millilitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a millilitre of air. How many micrograms? Next consider a millilitre of water. How many micrograms? The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion. Many people believe that there is an exact conversion for pure water: that is not true. It is only an approximation and that has been the case since 1964 when the definition of the litre was changed.


Hom much of 50mg per ml solution should be added to a 500ml solution to get 50 micrograms per milliliter?

To achieve a concentration of 50 micrograms per milliliter, you would add 1 milliliter of the 50mg per ml solution to the 500ml solution. This would result in a total volume of 501ml with a concentration of 50 micrograms per milliliter.


How do you convert microgram per meter-cubed to ppb?

Ppb means parts per billion. When you are talking about weight per volume, a gram is deemed equivalent to a millilitre. Micrograms per metre cubed means micrograms per 1000 litres. You will have to divide by 1000 to convert to micrograms per litre, giving you ppb.

No. Micrograms per millilitre is exactly the same as ppm. There 0.5ppm is 100 times smaller than 50ppm.
