Unit ppm stands for parts per million. in terms of mass, ppm is equivalent to mg/kg.
since 1 kg is 10⁻⁶ mg, 1 kg is equivalent to million mg.
therefore mg/kg is also ppm.
there are 1.3 g of Ca ions in 3100 kg
if 3100 kg contains - 1.3 g of Ca
then 1 kg contains - 1.3 g / 3100 kg
then Ca ions - 0.42 x 10⁻³ g/kg
Ca ion concentration - 0.42 mg/kg 
therefore Ca ion concentration is 0.42 ppm

An extra-strength aspirin contains 0.500 g of aspirin. how many grains is this? (1grain=64.8mg)
Snowcat [4.5K]

By unit conversion, the aspirin contains 7.72 grains.

We need to know about unit conversion to solve this problem. The unit conversion can be used to convert a unit to another unit. It can be defined as

a = xb

where a is unit a, b is unit b and x is the constant of conversion.

From the question above, we know that

m = 0.5 gram

unit conversion

(1 grain = 64.8 mg)

Convert the unit conversion to 1 mg

1 grain = 64.8 mg

1/64.8 grain = 64.8/64.8 mg

1 mg = 1/64.8 grain

Convert the aspirin mass to grain

m = 0.500 g

m = 0.5 x 10³ mg

m = 0.5 x 10³ x 1/64.8 grain

m = 7.72 grain

What is the chemical structure of coal?<br>What is the molecular weight of coal? ​
nydimaria [60]

1) As for its chemical composition, coal is a mixture of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as benzene C6H6, toluene C6H5CH3, xylene C6H4(CH3)2, naphthalene C10H8, anthracene C14H10, pyrene C16H10 and their derivatives with high mass fraction of carbon, as well as of water and volatile substances.

2) The coal asphaltenes have a relatively narrow MWD (full width ≈ 150 amu) with an average molecular weight of ≈340 amu. The petroleum asphaltenes display a broader MWD (full width ≈ 300 amu) and are heavier on average (≈680 amu).
