Divide the percent concentration by 100, then multiply by the weight of the solution to calculate the mass of chromium. For example, if the weight percent is 5 and the weight of the solution 160 grams, then the mass of chromium is (5/100) x 160 = 8 grams.
Divide by the weight of the solution by the density to calculate the volume of the solution. For example, if the density is 1.1 g/ml, then the volume of the solution is 160/1.1 = 145.5 ml.
Divide the mass of chromium by the volume of the solution to calculate the concentration in grams per milliliters. In this example, the concentration is 8/145.5 = 0.055 g/ml.
Multiply the concentration by 1,000 to convert it to milligrams (mg) per milliliters. In this example, the chromium concentration is 0.055 g/ml x 1.000 = 55 mg/ml.
