How do I convert the concentrations of given substances to volume fractions?
NH3 : 64 mg/l
Water: 136 g/m3
H2S: 6 g/m3

Thank you!

What do you want to convert to? And what is the rest of it? (what is the total wt/m3?

P.E. Metallurgy, consulting work welcomed
 
Well the water and H[sub]2[/sub]S are simple assuming these are just mixtures/solutions.

Take the density of water at your conditions to convert your 136g to volume and use that number to calculate your volumetric fraction.

For the H[sub]2[/sub]S, use the ideal gas law to calculate how much volume 6g takes up in your conditions and calculate your volumetric fraction from that.

For the NH[sub]3[/sub] you'll need for information than just a mass concentration. Is this an aqueous solution? Is this a gas?
