Which one of the following correctly represents the concentration term 'ppm'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Number of parts of the component}}{\text{Total number of parts of all the components of the solution}}×10^{6}$
The term ppm (parts per million) is defined as:
$\text{ppm} = \frac{\text{Number of parts of the component}}{\text{Total number of parts of all components}} \times 10^6$
- It represents 1 part of solute per 1,000,000 parts of solution.
