We have homework that says that 20.69 grams of material that has a % solids by weight of 1.84% is dissolved in 101.17 grams of HCl and then analyzed for zinc ---- the resultant zinc value of the dissolved solution in ppm is given as 65.33 ppm.

I need to determine the mg/kg zinc as a function of only the the % solids in the original 20.69 gram sample with 1.84% solids.

How do I get the zinc value in mg/kg of solids?????

  • Concentration - Units Conversions

    (ppm) - this is sort of a generic unit of measure in the sense that it can represent a lot different units of measure (e.g. mg/L, ug/ml, mg/Kg, lb/acre), therefore a ppm equals one part of something per million parts of something else.

  • Converting ppm to micrograms.

    Ppm is a unitless number, it just means that (in this case) we have 0.08 parts in 1 000 000, which can be 0.08 mole-parts in a million moles or, equivalently, 0.08 mg in a million mg, that is, in 1 kg.
