Answer:
The concentration will be "[tex]1.88\times 10^5 \ ppm[/tex]".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Mass of solute (KNO₃),
= 15.0 grams
Mass of solvent (H₂O),
= 65.0 grams
The concentration will be:
= [tex]\frac{Mass \ of \ solute}{Mass \ of \ solution}\times 10^6[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{15.0}{65.0+15.0}\times 10^6[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15.0}{80}\times 10^6[/tex]
= [tex]0.1875\times 10^6[/tex]
= [tex]187500 \ ppm[/tex]
or,
= [tex]1.88\times 10^5 \ ppm[/tex]
