Number M fluorescein What is the concentration of the solution in ppm? Number ppm fluorescein

Explanation / Answer

molarity    = weight of solute *1000/gram molar mass * volume of solution in ml

                 = 0.000333*1000/332.32*225

                  = 4.45*10-6 M

         10-6 M = 0.0355PPm

4.45*10-6 mole/L * 332.32g/mole = 0.001478g/L

                      =0.001478*1000mg/L                  [1g = 1000mg]

                      = 1.478mg/L

                       1.478ppm                               [ 1mg/L = 1ppm]
