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.
There are 1,000,000,000 micrograms in a kilogram. This actually means parts per billion. Parts per million would be mg/kg. So to get here, you need to divide by 1000.
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
You convert everything to grams, then you add. * To convert kg to grams, you multiply by 1000. * To convert mg to grams, you divide by 1000.
Divide by 1000000. So 20 / 1000000 = 0.00002 kilograms.
1 lb = 0.45359237 kg so 0.02 lb = 0.00907185 kg = 9.07185 grams = 9071.85 milligrams
Divide mg by 1,000,000 to get kg.
Percent per mass is exprimed in g/Kg, mg/kg, µg/kg, etc. Ex.: An ore contain 10 mg gold/kg ore. Percent per volume is exprimed in volume to volume. Ex.: Vodka contain 40 volumes of ethanol/100 volumes of liquid.
To convert mg to kg divide by 1,000,000
One million mg per kg
1 part per million (ppm) is the same as 1 mg/kg and mg/L 1 mg=0.0001 g 1 kg=1000 g 1 mg/ 1 kg = 0.0001/1000 = 1/1,000,000 and, 1% = 0.01 = 1/100 so, to get from 1% (1/100) to 1 mg/kg (1/1,000,000), you must multiply by 10,000 (invert) this means 1% = 10,000 ppm or mg/kg or mg/L
One can convert mg to kg by dividing milligrams by 1000.
0.00003729
Multiply kg by 1,000,000 to get mg
Multiply kg by 1,000,000 to get the equivalent mg
Divide mg by 1,000,000 to get kg.
Since 1 mg = 0.001 gram and 1 kg = 1000 gram, to convert from mg to kg you need to divide by a million.
