Assignment: Percent, ppm and ppb
1) Calculate the concentration of salt in a solution of water in percent if 45 grams is dissolved in 1,200 ml of water.

Solution:
            1200ml contain 45 g 
            1 ml contain 45/1200
            100 ml contain 45 x100/1200

2) Calculate the mass of solute in a 10% salt solution if the mass of the solvent is 350 grams.

Solution :
            Suppose the mass of solute is  "X"
            then the mas of solution is  equal 350 + X 
            we Know that 
            % of solution = mass of solute ÷mass of solution  x 100   
                          10 %= X ÷( 350+X) x 100
                     10 ÷ 100 =  X ÷(350 +X)
                              0.1=X÷(350 +X)
                                       X  = 0.1(350 +X)
                                        X= 35.0 +0.1X
                              X-0.1X = 35.0
                                  0.9X = 35.0
                                        X =35.0 ÷0.9
                                         X= 38.88  
3) Calculate the mass of solvent in a 6 ppm solution of a drug if the mass of the solute is 0.050 milligrams.  
  
Solution:
             we know that 
                   ppm     =mass of sloute ÷ mass of solvent x 106
                      6ppm      = 0.050 mg ÷mass of solvent x106
         mass of solvent= 6ppm ÷106 x 0.050mg 

4) What is the concentration in ppm of selenium if 1.3 milligrams is found in 2,500 kg of soil?

Solution:  
              ppm = 1.3 mg  ÷  2.5 x109  mg       x 106
              5.2 x10-2   ppm
5) What is the concentration in ppb of PCB's in a chemical spill, if their is 0.060 mg in 4,600 Kg of soil?



6) Calculate the mass of solute of hydrogen peroxide in a 35 % solution if 450 ml of solution is being used.

Solution: 
        100 ml solution contain = 35 g of hydrogen peroxide
             1ml solution contain = 35 ÷ 100
            450 ml solution contain = 0.35 x 450 ml 
7) Calculate the mass of solute PCB's in a 65 Kg person, if the concentration is 4 PPM?

Solution :
                         ppm = mass of sloute ÷ mass of solvent   x  106
                       4 ppm = mass  of solute  ÷  65 kg  x  106
      mass of sloute  = 4  ÷ (65 kg  x  106)

8) What mass of nickel is in a 2.4 Kg sample of propanol if the 
concentration is 20 ppb?
Solution : 
                

9) Calculate the mass of solvent that would contain 3.0 mg of a drug if the concentration was 3.5%.

Solution:
10) Calculate the concentration in ppm if 8 grams of CaCl2 is dissolved in 250 ml of water.
