Mg Per Kg Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the concentration in milligrams per kilogram is:

\[ C = \frac{mg}{kg} \]

Where:

\( C \) is the concentration (mg/kg)
\( mg \) is the amount of substance in milligrams
\( kg \) is the mass in kilograms

What is Mg Per Kg?

Mg per kg is a unit of concentration often used in chemistry, medicine, and various scientific fields to express the amount of a substance in a specific mass of material. It is particularly useful for describing small quantities of a substance within a larger mass and is equivalent to parts per million (ppm) by mass.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Amount of Substance (mg) = 500 mg
Mass (kg) = 2 kg

Using the formula to calculate the concentration:

\[ C = \frac{500}{2} = 250 \]

The concentration is 250 mg/kg.
