(ppm and ppb are sooo not easy for me to get)c
A saturated solution of PbCO3 contains 0.00011 g PbCO3 in 100. g of water.
What is this concentration in parts per million?
1 ppm = 1 mg/L
1 ppb = 1 ug/L. That makes it a lot easier.
To calculate the concentration in parts per million (ppm), we first need to find the mass of the solute (PbCO3) in the solution.
Given:
Mass of PbCO3 = 0.00011 g
Mass of water = 100. g
The concentration of PbCO3 in ppm can be calculated using the following equation:
Concentration (ppm) = (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) * 1,000,000
Substituting the given values into the equation:
Concentration (ppm) = (0.00011 g / 100. g) * 1,000,000
Concentration (ppm) = 1.1 ppm
Therefore, the concentration of PbCO3 in the saturated solution is 1.1 parts per million.
