If you needed a 1.5 x 1 0-4 M solution of a compound that has a molar mass of 760 g/mol, what would it concentration be in parts per million?

114 ppm

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Conc. of compound in mol/L = 1.5×10¯⁴ mol/L

Molar mass of compound = 760 g/mol

Conc. in ppm =..?

Next, we shall determine the concentration of the compound in grams per litre (g/L) . This is illustrated below:

Conc. in mol/L = conc. in g/L / Molar mass

1.5×10¯⁴ = conc. In g/L / 760

Cross multiply

Conc. in g/L = 1.5×10¯⁴ x 760

Conc. in g/L = 0.114 g/L

Next, we shall convert 0.114 g/L to milligrams per litre (mg/L). This is illustrated below:

1 g/L = 1000 mg/L

Therefore, 0.114 g/L = 0.114 x 1000 = 114 mg/L

Finally, we shall convert 114 mg/L to parts per million (ppm). This is illustrated below:

1 mg/L = 1 ppm

Therefore, 114 mg/L = 114 ppm

From the calculations made above,

1.5×10¯⁴ mol/L Is equivalent to 114 ppm.
