Answer:

= 25 ppm

Explanation:

  • PPM also refers to parts per million, it represents a low concentration of a solution. It represents 0.001 gram or a milligram in a 1000 mL, which equivalent to 1 mg per liter.

Given; a sample size of 2000 g contained 0.050 g DDT

It means, 2000 mL sample contained 50 mg DDT

Therefore in ppm we get;

= 50 mg/ 2 L

= 25 mg/L

= 25 ppm
