Chapter 12, Problem 12.8YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of $\text{NaF}$, in grams, present in $25\text{ L}$ of water is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Concentration of a solution can be calculated, in parts per million, with the help of masses of the solute and solution.

The density of the solution is defined as the mass of the solution per unit volume of the solution. The expression for density is as follows;

$\text{d}=\frac{m}{\text{V}}$

Here, $m$ is the mass of the solution, V is the volume of the solution, and d is the density of the solution.

Concentration of a solution in parts per million is expressed as follows:

$\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{grams solute}}{\text{grams solution}}\times {10}^6$
