Chapter 1, Problem 1.17P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of $1\text{ ppm}$ has to be expressed in $g/L,\mu \text{g/L, }\mu \text{g/mL}$ and $mg/L.$

Concept Introduction:

Parts Per Million refers to a term that expresses concentration of certain substance in a mixture of substances.   It is denoted as ppm.  It is represented as,

    $ppm\text{ = }\frac{mass\text{ of substance}}{mass\text{ of sample}}\times {10}^6$

In solution concentrations, $1\text{ ppm}$ is equivalent to $1\mu \text{g/mL or 1 mg/L}\text{.}$
