Calculate ppt for 0.5 grams of sugar per 1 liter solution

Calculation of ppt for 0.5 grams of sugar per 1 liter solution:

Final Answer: To calculate ppt, which is grams of solute per kilogram of solvent, 0.5 grams of sugar in 1 liter of solution is equivalent to 0.5 ppt. Therefore, the answer is b) 0.5 ppt.

Explanation:

To calculate the ppt value:

Given: 0.5 grams of sugar per 1 liter of solution

1. The definition of ppt is the grams of solute per kilogram of solvent.

2. Since the solution has a volume of 1 liter, which is equivalent to 1 kilogram for water (the density of pure water is approximately 1 g/mL).

Calculation:

0.5 grams sugar / 1 kilogram solution = 0.5 grams sugar / 1000 grams solution

Multiply the result by 1000 to convert to ppt:

0.5 grams sugar / 1000 grams solution × 1000 = 0.5 ppt

Therefore, the correct answer is b) 0.5 ppt.
