Answer:
249.94ppm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.025g
Mass of water = 100g
Unknown:
Concentration of solution in ppm = ?
Solution:
Concentration in parts per million gives the amount of solute found in a million units of the solution. They are desirable for expressing very small amount of solutes in a large solution. For example, the level of arsenic in the soil.
Concentration in ppm = [tex]\frac{amount of solute}{amount of solution} x 10^{6}[/tex]
A solution is made up of solute and solvent. The solvent here is water.
mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent = 0.025 + 100 = 100.025g
Concentration in ppm = [tex]\frac{0.025}{100.025} x 10^{6}[/tex] = 249.94ppm
