1
Q
What is mass percentage?
A
Mass of the ELEMENT divided by the mass of the COMPOUND.
2
Q
Formula for Mass Percentage?
A
Mass of Component / Mass of Solution * 100
3
Q
What is Volume Percentage?
A
The same as mass percentage instead of mass the volume of solute is divided by volume of solution.
4
Q
Formula for Volume Percentage?
A
Volume of Solute / Volume of Solution * 100
5
Q
Parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) is used for…
A
Really tiny concentrations.
6
Q
Formula to find ppm?
A
ppm = mass of solute / mass of solution * 10^6
7
Q
Formula to find ppb?
A
ppb = mass of solute / mass of solution * 10^9
