hi,
i currently have an electric outlet w/o ground. i purchased a new
outlet w/ ground since the new appliance requires it but how do i
connect the ground on the new outlet?

No offense intended... but this is pretty basic, and if you have to ask this
question, your skills and knowledge are not sufficient for you to do this job
safely by yourself. It's not rocket science, though, and there are many good
books on residential electrical wiring available at any decent library or
bookstore, and at all major home-improvement stores such as Lowe's or Home
Depot. Get a book and learn how to do it safely.

And remember that the FIRST thing to do in any electrical repair is to shut
off the power to the circuit you're working on.

Test it both before and after the shut off, to be sure you got it
right. Consider additional circuits that may be in the same box.
