Iron (III) oxide chunks contain 80 ppm silica (SiO2). What is the concentration of this impurity in mass%?(a) 0.008%(b) 0.080%(c) 0.800%(d) 8.000%I had been asked this question in exam.I would like to ask this question from Expressing Concentration of Solutions topic in chapter Solutions of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) 0.008%

Best explanation: 80 ppm silica MEANS there are 80 mg of silica is 10^6 mg (or 1 kg) of iron (III) oxide and silica mixture. The mixture can be regarded as 10^6 mg (or 1 kg) of iron (III) oxide since 80<<10^6

MASS% = (mass of impurity/mass of total mixture) X 100%

Mass% = (80mg/10^6mg) x 100% = 0.008%.
