Grams To Parts Per Million Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the mass of the substance in grams in the "Grams of Substance" field.
2. Enter the total mass of the solution in kilograms in the "Mass of Solution" field.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the parts per million (ppm) concentration.
4. The result will be displayed in the "Result (ppm)" field.

Understanding Parts Per Million (ppm)

Parts per million (ppm) is a unit of measurement used to express very dilute concentrations of substances in solutions or mixtures. It represents one part of a solute in one million parts of a solution. For example, 1 ppm is equivalent to 1 milligram per liter (mg/L) of solution if the density of the solution is approximately 1 g/mL.

Example Calculation

If you have 0.5 grams of salt dissolved in 1000 kilograms of water, the concentration in ppm would be calculated as follows:
ppm = (0.5 grams / 1000 kilograms) × 1,000,000 = 500 ppm
