    Yes it is, the reason it is dm^-3 i.e. dm⁻³ is because it's per litre or l^-1 i.e. L⁻¹


    Edited the other post to correct it. The minus sign is because it is per liter (i.e. divided by liters). A decimeter is 1 tenth of a meter or 10 cm - a cube of 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm is 1 litre in volume... or 1000cm³ or 1dm³.

    If there are 0.2g per cube then that would be 0.2g/cube or 0.2g*cube⁻¹

    so 0.2g/dm³ or 0.2g*dm⁻³

    Hope that helps.
