Often research reports will only include only one concentration metric when characterizing nanomaterials. However, often it is necessary to convert among different concentration metrics, does an outline/rubric/methodology exist for how to rigorously perform these conversions?
The best way to convert VC to mass concentration is to take a water sample for mass concentration now and then, and divide the mass concentration with the volume concentration from the LISST in order to get the average density of the particles in that paricular sampl
In my experience, often articles report 3 concentrations or samples for reference and comparison, and compare best out of that. As far as your question is concerned, there are many methodologies exist as refer by D S Bhagat.

Where does the molar concentration come from? Concentration of precursor used or result of independent measurement? If only the concentration of the precursor is known, the degree of conversion must also be determined.
D. S. Bhagat , what do you mean by LISST?
Omkar S. Kushwaha , thank you for acknowledging the reason for the question!
Vladimir Dusevich , this looks like a great resource.
Adam Juhasz , another level of consideration, definitely inline with trying to understand literature.
Thank you all for engaging this question.
