I need to make a 1 ppm gaseous standard of benzene in nitrogen gas within a Tedlar® gas sampling bag. Is this as simple as injecting 1 μL of neat benzene liquid into 1 L of nitrogen gas within the bag?

Or do I need to weigh out the benzene liquid and use a calculation including the molecular mass of benzene?

    $\begingroup$ You need 1 microlitre of benzene vapor per 1 L of N2 at the same conditions as the used N2, if ppm(v/v) is assumed. Or recalculated V for different p or T. I suggest to use a kind of concentrated benzene vapor in N2 mixture and use this for final standard. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Here we go with ppm again… $\endgroup$
