A 1.00 L sample of water contains 0.0048 g of SH⁻ ions.Determine the concentration of SH⁻ ions in ppm if the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL. A) 3.6 ppm B) 9.6 ppm C) 4.8 ppm D) 2.4 ppm E) 7.2 ppm

Question

To calculate parts per million (ppm), we need to divide the mass of the solute (0.0048 g) by the mass of the solution (1000 g): 0.0048 g / 1000 g = 0.0000048 g/g We then need to multiply this by 1,000,000 to convert to ppm: 0.0000048 g/g x 1,000,000 = 4.8 ppm Therefore, the concentration of SH⁻ ions in the water sample is 4.8 ppm. The correct choice is (C).
