1 mg/L = 1 ppm
Full precision:1 ppm
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 mg/l to ppm, we multiply by 1 because one milligram per liter equals exactly 1 ppm.
1 milligram per liter = 1 ppm
Since each milligram per liter contains 1 ppm, we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1 = 1 ppm
So 1 mg/l = 1 ppm.
Quick check: 1 ÷ 1 = 1 mg/l
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 mg/L = 1 ppm
1 × 1 = 1
1 × 1 = 1
Example 2: 5 mg/L = 5 ppm
5 × 1 = 5
5 × 1 = 5
Example 3: 10 mg/L = 10 ppm
10 × 1 = 10
10 × 1 = 10
