0.055 grams of PbSO4 is dissolved in 200.00 grams of H2O.

1. What is the mass of the total solution?
2. What is the concentration of the PbSO4 in ppm?

Solution's mass = 200.055 g

[PbSO₄] = 275 ppm

Explanation:

Solute mass = 0.055 g of lead(II) sulfate

Solvent mass = 200 g of water

Solution mass = Solvent mass + Solution mass

0.055 g + 200 g = 200.055 g

ppm = μg of solute / g of solution

We convert the mass of solute from g to μg

0.055 g . 1×10⁶ μg/ 1g = 5.5×10⁴μg

5.5×10⁴μg / 200.055 g = 275 ppm

ppm can also be determined as mg of solute / kg of solution

It is important that the relation is 1×10⁻⁶

Let's verify: 0.055 g = 55 mg

200.055 g = 0.200055 kg

55 mg / 0.200055 kg = 275 ppm
