Question

Define the following modes of expressing the concentration of a solution. Which of these modes are independent of temperature and why?

ppm. (parts per million)

Long Answer

Solution

Parts per million or ppm is a unit of measure of dissolved solids in solution, in terms of a ratio between the number of parts of solids/solute to a million parts of total volume. Thus,

1 parts per million (ppm): Is a concentration of solution that contains 1 gram solute and 1000000 ml solution (same as 1 miligram solute per litre of solution)

= `"No. of parts of the component"/"Total number of parts of the solution" xx 10^6`
