For each of the following units and concentration values, mention if they are parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt) to

a. g / Ton

b. mg / L

c. μg / L

d. ng / L (ng = nanogram) and e

e. mg / ton

a) ppm

b) ppm

c) ppb

d) ppt

e) ppb

Explanation:

a) You know that 1000 g are 1 kg, and 1000 kg are 1 ton, so (1000) * (1000) g are 1 ton, so 1,000,000 grams are one ton.

b) 1000 mg are 1 g, and 1000 g are 1 liter, so 1,000,000 grams are one liter.

c) You know that 1000 ug are 1 mg, so with the b), we just need to multiply the answer by 1000, so 1,000,000,000 ug are 1 liter.

d) The same as c, 1000 ng are 1 mg. So we are talkinf of ppt.

e) 1000 mg are 1 g. And 1000 g are 1 kg, then 1000 kg are one ton. So 1,000,000,000 mg are one ton.
