Very small concentrations are often expressed as ppm (parts per million)
e.g. Grams per million grams for a trace impurity in a solid.
For aqueous solutions this is the same as grams per million millilitres.
1,000,000/1,000
You should check for yourselves that:-
1 ppm = 1 mg per kilogram = 1 microgram per gram (solids)
1 ppm = 1 mg per litre = 1 microgram per ml (solutions) =
.0001 grams per litre
5 grams of BAP costs around 35-40 dollors.
1 gram = 1,000 mg
1 gram per 1,000 litres = 1 ppm
1,000 ml = 1 liter
3,000 ppm = 3,000 mg per liter or 3 grams per liter. = 3,000 grams per
1,000 litres = 3 grams per litre
12 dollars per liter of working strength BAP
If BAP 10 is a ten percent dilution then,
1ppm = 1 gram per 1,000 litres
100,000 ppm = 100,000 grams per 1,000 liters or 100 grams per liltre.
which would give you 33 litres of working strength BAP
OK so I was off on how expensive the BAP 10 is, but a person should not need
more than a litre or two.
Plus it's late and I cannot do math when I am tired.
