To convert mg per kg to percent, you first need to understand that 1 kg is equal to 1,000,000 mg. So, if you have a certain amount of mg per kg, you can divide that value by 10,000 to get the percentage. For example, if you have 500 mg per kg, you would divide 500 by 10,000 to get 0.05. To convert this to a percentage, you would multiply by 100 to get 5%.

The simple solution is to just divide the mg/kg number by 10,000. The 10,000 accounts for the conversion of mg to kg and the multiplying by 100 to determine the percentage.

How do you convert mg l to percent?

mg/l is milligrams per litre….or milligrams in one litre of water… this is a weight by volume relationship with mg the weight and litre the volume…. For considering percentages, we need both units to be of same dimension i.e. weight by weight or volume by volume that means you have to convert mg/l to either mg/g or ml/l we consider converting to mg/g (or any other WEIGHT unit) Converting mg/l to mg/g or mg/Kg As you know density of water is 1 gm/ml…..which means when you take 1ml of water it will be 1 gram So if you take 1000 ml it will be 1000 grams Or 1 litre of water will weigh 1 kg Which means you can write mg/l as mg/kg (as 1 litre of water is 1kg) So suppose you got chloride content in soil as 34 mg/l then you can also say it is 34 mg/kg Now mg/kg is also known as 1ppm i.e. 1mg/kg = 1mg/1000grams= 1mg/1000000 mg (we have converted everything into milligrams) So all that remains is 1/1000000 or 1/ 1 million or 1 part per million or 1ppm Percentage is parts per hundred So if a chemical has concentration of 34 parts in a million, how much will it be in just hundred So in 1 lakh it will be 3.4, In 10000 there will be 0.34, In 1000 there will be 0.034 and in 100 there will be 0.0034 Or 34 mg/ kg will be 34 mg / 1000000 mg So 34 mg is concentration in 1000000 mg So % will be 34 x 100 ___________ = 0.0034% 1000000
