Q. $1000\, g$ aqueous solution of $CaCO _{3}$ contains $10\, g$ of calcium carbonate. Concentration of solution is:

Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Solution:

$ppm = wt$. of solute in $10^{6} g H _{2} O$
$10^{3} g H _{2} O$ contains $10 g CaCO _{3}$
$\therefore 10^{6} g H _{2} O$ contains $=\frac{10 \times 10^{6}}{10^{3}}=10,000$
$ppm CaCO _{3}$
