  2. Drinking water quality standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water_quality...

    A standard of "nitrite as N" set at 1.4 mg/L equals a nitrite ion concentration of 4.6 mg/L. This is an apparent difference of nearly threefold. ... 0, 05 mg/L 0.050 ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    The tonne (t) is an SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram (Mg), or 10 3 kg. The unit is in common use for masses above about 10 3 kg and is often used with SI prefixes. For example, a gigagram ( Gg ) or 10 9 g is 10 3 tonnes, commonly called a kilotonne .

  4. Saline water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

    At 100 °C (212 °F; 373 K), saturated sodium chloride brine is about 28% salt by weight. At 0 °C (32 °F; 273 K), brine can only hold about 26% salt. [ 3 ] At 20 °C one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3%.

  5. Salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity

    A river or lake water with a salinity of around 70 mg/L will typically have a specific conductivity at 25 °C of between 80 and 130 μS/cm. The actual ratio depends on the ions present. [14] The actual conductivity usually changes by about 2% per degree Celsius, so the measured conductivity at 5 °C might only be in the range of 50–80 μS/cm.

  6. Sodium hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hypochlorite

    Sodium hypochlorite can also be used for point-of-use disinfection of drinking water, [40] taking 0.22 mg of sodium hypochlorite per liter of water. [41] Dilute solutions (50 ppm to 1.5%) are found in disinfecting sprays and wipes used on hard surfaces. [42] [43]

  7. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity_(electrolytic)

    The conversion of conductivity (in μS/cm) to the total dissolved solids (in mg/kg) depends on the chemical composition of the sample and can vary between 0.54 and 0.96. Typically, the conversion is done assuming that the solid is sodium chloride; 1 μS/cm is then equivalent to about 0.64 mg of NaCl per kg of water.

  8. Gold number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_number

    The sodium chloride ions disrupt this electrical double layer, causing coagulation to occur. The coagulation of gold sol results in an increase in particle size, indicated by a colour change from red to blue or purple. The higher the gold number, the lower the protective power of the colloid, because a greater amount of colloid is required to ...

  9. Sodium dodecyl sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_dodecyl_sulfate

    Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sometimes written sodium laurilsulfate, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 11 OSO 3 Na and structure H 3 C−(CH 2) 11 −O−S(=O) 2 −O − Na +. It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products. This compound is the sodium salt of the 12 ...
