When 25g of Na2SO4 is dissolved in 103kg of solution, its concentration will be:
2.5 ppm
25 ppm
250 ppm
100 ppm
Solution:
When a solute is present in very minute amounts (trace quantities) the concentration is expressed in ppm. ppm of A = mass of component A / total mass of solution × 10⁶ = 0.025 / 103 × 10⁶ = 25 ppm
