Question

How many parts per million of lead is found in 250 ml of water if there is 1.30g of lead in the water? 1ml=1g

Answer 1

Answer:

5200 ppm

Explanation:

As per the definition, parts per million of a contaminant is a measure of the amount of mass of contaminant present per million amount of the solution. It is denoted by ppm.

Given in the question,

Water = 250 ml = 250 g

Lead = 1.30 g

So,

ppm of Lead = $\frac{Lead}{Water} \times 10^6$ = $\frac{1.30}{250} \times 10^6$ = 5200 ppm

So, as calculated above, there is 5200 ppm of lead present in 250 ml of water.
