The formula to calculate the PPM (Parts Per Million) from Percent is:
\[ \text{PPM} = P \times 10,000 \]
Where:
PPM, or Parts Per Million, is a unit of concentration that describes the amount of one substance in a million parts of another. It is commonly used in chemistry, environmental science, and engineering to quantify small concentrations of substances in a solution, gas, or other medium.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate the PPM:
\[ \text{PPM} = 0.5 \times 10,000 = 5,000 \text{ PPM} \]
This means that a 0.5% concentration corresponds to 5,000 PPM.
