A 500g toothpaste sample has 0.2g fluoride concentration. What is the concentration of fluoride in terms of ppm level?
Correct answer: C. 400
- A. 250
- B. 200
- C. 400
- D. 1000
Explanation
The concentration of fluoride in terms of ppm (parts per million) can be calculated as follows: 1 ppm = 1 mg of solute per 1 liter of solution Since the mass of the toothpaste sample is 500g and the concentration of fluoride is 0.2g, we can convert the concentration to mg/g: 0.2 g = 200 mg To calculate the ppm level, we need to divide the mass of fluoride by the total mass of the toothpaste and then multiply by 1 million: 200 mg / 500 g x 1,000,000 = 400 ppm Therefore, the concentration of fluoride in the toothpaste sample is 400 ppm

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry
Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
