1. Calculate the total mass of the solution:
* Total mass = mass of solute (NaCl) + mass of solvent (water)
* Total mass = 25 g + 200 g = 225 g
2. Convert the mass of solute to milligrams:
* 1 g = 1000 mg
* Mass of NaCl in mg = 25 g * 1000 mg/g = 25000 mg
3. Calculate the ppm:
* ppm = (mass of solute in mg / total mass of solution in g) * 1,000,000
* ppm = (25000 mg / 225 g) * 1,000,000
* ppm ≈ 111,111 ppm
Therefore, the solution contains approximately 111,111 ppm of sodium chloride.
