Question #f9956
1 Answer
Here's how you can do that.
Explanation:
A solution's concentration in parts per million, or ppm, tells you the number of grams of solute you get for every
grams of solution.
Similarly, a solution's concentration in parts per billion, or ppb, tells you the number of grams of solute present for every
#10^9 = 1,000,000,000#
grams of solution.
In your case, a solution that has a concentration of
So in order to convert the
#"DF" = (10^9 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))))/(10^6color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g")))) = color(blue)(1000) -># the dilution factor
So, for example, if you start with
#color(blue)(1000) * "100 g" = 10^5color(white)(.)"g"#
So, to sum this up, you can convert a
