Chapter 8, Problem 68P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

1300 μg/kg of copper is to be converted into parts per million.

The given maximum safe level of copper present in drinking water is to be converted to parts per million.

Concept introduction:

The concentration units are preferentially expressed in parts per million in cases where the solute is present in very minor amount. Analogous to the percentage concentration parts per million is defined as number of parts of solute present in 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, the concentration in parts per million is expressed as follows:

  parts per million(ppm)=Mass of solute(g)Mass of solution(g)×106

In terms of volume, the parts per million may be expressed as follows:

  parts per million(ppm)= Volume of solute(mL) Volume of solution(mL)×106

The conversion factor to convert micrograms to grams is as follows:

  1 μg=106 g

The conversion factor to convert kilograms to grams is as follows:

  1 kg=103 g

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

10 μg/kg of arsenic is to be converted into parts per million.

Concept introduction:

The concentration units are preferentially expressed in parts per million in cases where the solute is present in very minor amount. Analogous to the percentage concentration parts per million is defined as number of parts of solute present in 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, the concentration in parts per million is expressed as follows:

  parts per million(ppm)=Mass of solute(g)Mass of solution(g)×106

In terms of volume, the parts per million may be expressed as follows:

  parts per million(ppm)= Volume of solute(mL) Volume of solution(mL)×106

The conversion factor to convert micrograms to grams is as follows:

  1 μg=106 g

The conversion factor to convert kilograms to grams is as follows:

  1 kg=103 g

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

100 μg/kg of chromium is to be converted into parts per million

Concept introduction:

The concentration units are preferentially expressed in parts per million in cases where the solute is present in very minor amount.

  parts per million(ppm)= Volume of solute(mL) Volume of solution(mL)×106

The conversion factor to convert micrograms to grams is as follows:

  1 μg=106 g

The conversion factor to convert kilograms to grams is as follows:

  1 kg=103 g
