What is the mass concentration in ppm of NaCl of 0.01% mass/mass A-10
B-100
C-10^3
D-10^4
E-10^5

B-100

Explanation:

ppm is an unit of concentration that could be defined as the mass in mg of solute (In this case, NaCl) per kg of solution.

Now, a solution of NaCl that is 0.01% by mass, contains 0.01g of NaCl in 100g of solution.

To solve this question, we must convert the mass of NaCl to mg and the mass of solution to kg:

Mass NaCl:

0.01g * (1000mg / 1g) = 10mg

Mass Solution:

100g * (1kg / 1000g) = 0.10kg

The ppm are:

10mg / 0.10kg =

100ppm

Right answer is:
