Ferrous sulphate heptahydrate is used to fortify foods with iron. The amount (in grams) of the salt required to achieve 10ppm of iron in 100kg of wheat is ____________.
Atomic weight: Fe=55.85;S=32.00;O=16.00

Solution

Formula of ppm is as follow-

ppm=weight of soluteweight of solution×106

10=MassofFe(ing)100×1000×106
Or mass fe =1g
FeSO4.7H2OM=278
56g in 1 mole
1g-156mole
156×278g=4.96g

PPM is a concentration term and its full form is "parts per million" and it also can be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/L). This measurement is the mass of a chemical or contaminate per unit volume of water.
