Q: What is the concentration in ppm of a solution containing 1 gram of solute in 1 liter of solution?

Solution: PPM = (mass of solute in grams / volume of solution in liters) * 10^6 = (1 g / 1 L) * 10^6 = 1000 ppm.

Steps: 7

Step 1: Understand what ppm means. PPM stands for 'parts per million' and is a way to express very dilute concentrations of substances.
Step 2: Identify the mass of the solute. In this case, the mass of the solute is 1 gram.
Step 3: Identify the volume of the solution. Here, the volume of the solution is 1 liter.
Step 4: Use the formula for ppm: PPM = (mass of solute in grams / volume of solution in liters) * 10^6.
Step 5: Plug in the values into the formula: PPM = (1 g / 1 L) * 10^6.
Step 6: Calculate the result: (1 g / 1 L) equals 1, so PPM = 1 * 10^6 = 1000000.
Step 7: Since we are looking for ppm in terms of grams per liter, we can simplify it to 1000 ppm because 1 g/L is equivalent to 1000 ppm.
