Parts per Million Concentration

Parts per Million (ppm) is the ratio of the number of grams of solute for every one million grams of solution. parts per million = grams of solute x grams of solution Ex.1) What is the number of ppm of NaCl in the solution with 117 g of NaCl dissolved in 500. mL of water? ppm = g solute x g sol’n x = ______ x g 617 g x = ppm

Parts per Million Concentration Ex.2) What is the number of ppm of C 2 H 4 (OH) 2 in the solution with 55.5 g (50.0 mL) of liquid C 2 H 4 (OH) 2 dissolved in mL of water ? ppm = g solute x g sol’n x = __________ x g g x = ppm

Parts per Million Concentration Ex.3) If 3.0 mg ( g) of Cr +6 is dissolved in L ( mL) of water what is the concentration of the hexavalent chromium (Cr +6 ) in ppm? ppm = g solute x g sol’n x = ____________ x g g x = 1.0 ppm
