50 grams or 50,000 mili grams is the mass of solute in 1000 grams of a solution having a concentration of 5 parts per million.
Explanation:
Total mass of solution = 1000 grams or 1000 ml since 1 gram = 1 ml
concentration is 5 parts per million ( 5 mg in 1000 ml solution or 0.005 gram in 1000 ml)
the formula used for parts per million:
parts per million =
putting the values in the equation:
parts per million =
0.005 x 1000 = mass of solute
50 grams= mass of solute
converting this into mg
50,000 mg. is the total mass of solute in 5ppm of 1000 ml solution.
