Question

In parts per million, a 125g of sulfate is found in 1kg of water. what is the concentration of sulfate in water? with solution

pls help

Answer 1

First, convert the mass of sulfate from grams to milligrams:

125g = 125000mg

Next, need to find the total mass of the solution in milligrams:

1kg = 1000000mg

Now calculate the concentration of sulfate in ppm:

Concentration (ppm) = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 10^6

Concentration (ppm) = (125000mg / 1000000mg) x 10^6

Concentration (ppm) = 125

Therefore, the concentration of sulfate in water is 125 ppm.
