Knowledge Check on Molality ! Direction: Solve the given problem. You may use a separate sheet
of paper. A commercial pesticide formulation contains 1.0 g deltametrin in 1L solution . What is its
concentration in ppm ? Given : Solution :
1000ppm
Step-by-step explanation
The mass of solute given= 1g
Volume of solution 1L
Parts per million ppm= mass of solute/Mass of solution= 1/1000000
Assuming a density of 1 g/mL for the solution and
1L=1000ml
mass of solution= 1g/mL x 1000mL=1000g
so
1g/1000g=1/1000000
but ppm=0.000001
so
ppm=1g/1000g x 1000000=1000ppm
