Mcg (microgram) is a measurement of weight or mass equal to one millionth of a gram, while ppm (parts per million) is a measurement of concentration expressing the amount of one substance in relation to a million units of a whole. In other words, mcg specifies the weight of a substance, while ppm indicates how much of a substance is present in a larger quantity.
Well, 1.0 ppm is equivalent to 1 microgram/gram, so multiply your ppm by 100 to get micrograms/100 grams lentils.
So, 0.05 ppm would be equal to 5 micrograms /100 grams lentils
Iodized salt typically contains 15-32 ppm (parts per million) of iodine, which is within the recommended range set by health organizations like the World Health Organization to help prevent iodine deficiency.
The proper ppm (parts per million) of sanitizer can vary depending on the specific sanitizer being used and the surface or item being sanitized. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for the correct ppm concentration to ensure effective sanitization. Typically, the range for sanitizer ppm in food establishments is between 50-200 ppm.
100 ppm is worse than 50 ppm. The higher the ppm value, the more concentrated the substance is in the solution. In this case, a concentration of 100 ppm is twice as much as 50 ppm.
The dosage for 200 mcg per kilogram for a 100-kilogram person would be 20,000 mcg (200 mcg x 100 kg).
PPM-Parts Per Million: Number of grams of solute per 1 million grams of solution. ppm=[mass of solute/mass of solution]*10 to the 6th power&PPB-Parts Per Billion: Number of grams of solute per 1 billion grams of solution.ppb=[mass of solute/mass of solution]*10 to the 9th power.Hope this helps.
