    This document discusses calculating concentrations in parts per million (ppm) using water samples. It provides an example of how to calculate ppm using 0.004 g of iron in 1000 g of water, which equals 4 ppm. It then lists 4 practice problems asking students to calculate concentrations of various substances like NaOH, sulfate, manganese, and fluoride in ppm using data on amounts in water samples and determine if the levels meet EPA standards for safe drinking water.

    Concentrations Involving Parts Per Million (PPM)

    Drinking water unsafe, iron at 4 parts per million!

    This type of headline grabs attention yet the unit of concentration, parts per million (ppm)
    is not well understood even though it is simple to calculate.

    ppm =  This can be found in Table T

    For example: a water test finds 0.004 g of iron, in a 1000 g sample. This concentration
    of iron is (0.004 g Fe / 1000 g water ) x 1,000,000 = 4 ppm.

    1. A student added 10.0 g NaOH to 1000 g of water. What is the concentration of


    NaOH in ppm?

    2. 125 g of sulfate are found in 1 kg of water. What is the concentration of sulfate in


    ppm and does this pass for safe drinking water according to the table on the other side
    of this paper?

    3. 5 mg of manganese are found in 1 kg of water. What is the concentration of


    manganese in ppm and does this pass for safe drinking water according to the table on
    the other side of this paper?

    4. Distrusting the water, a student fills a 1.0 liter bottle from the Chemical Maximum
    drinking fountain next to the Commons. The water report states the Allowed
    (ppm)
    fluoride content to be 3.0 mg. What is the concentration of fluoride
    Calcium 4
    in ppm and does this pass for safe drinking water according to the Chloride 250
    table on the right? Fluoride 2
    Iron 0.3
    Manganese 0.05
    Sodium None
    Sulfate 250
