  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. 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%.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 .

  6. Partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient

    [10]: 280–4 Hence, a single experiment can be used to measure the logarithms of the partition coefficient (log P) giving the distribution of molecules that are primarily neutral in charge, as well as the distribution coefficient (log D) of all forms of the molecule over a pH range, e.g., between 2 and 12.

  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. Purified water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purified_water

    Completely de-gassed ultrapure water has a conductivity of 1.2 × 10 −4 S/m, whereas on equilibration to the atmosphere it is 7.5 × 10 −5 S/m due to dissolved CO 2 in it. [10] The highest grades of ultrapure water should not be stored in glass or plastic containers because these container materials leach (release) contaminants at very low ...
