A 110.520 g sample of mineral water is analyzed for its magnesium content. The Mg+ in the sample is first precipitated as MgNH,PO, and this precipitate is then converted to Mg,P¿O7, which is found to weigh 0.0549 g. Express the quantity of magnesium in the sample in parts per million (that is, in grams of Mg per million grams of H;O).
