JEE Main levelNumerical answerDifficulty 2 of 3mc139

A water sample of mass 2.4 kg contains 5.5 mg of dissolved lead. Express the lead concentration in ppm by mass, to two decimal places.

Numerical answer type, answer in ppm, tolerance 0.01.

Answer: 2.29 ppm

ppm (mass) = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x = (5.5e-3 g / 2400 g) x 1e6 = 2.29.
