1b A 2g sample of seawater contains 850ng silicon. What is 
the silicon concentration in ppm?
1b ? Convert to ¦Ìg per g to find the ppm of 1g:
1b ? Convert to ¦Ìg per g to find the ppm of 1g: 
850ng = 0.85¦Ìg
1b ? Convert to ¦Ìg per g to find the ppm of 1g: 
850ng = 0.85¦Ìg 
0.85¦Ìg in 1g = 0.85ppm
1b ? Convert to ¦Ìg per g to find the ppm of 1g: 
850ng = 0.85¦Ìg 
0.85¦Ìg in 1g = 0.85ppm 
? Multiply by the mass of the sample:
1b ? Convert to ¦Ìg per g to find the ppm of 1g: 
850ng = 0.85¦Ìg 
0.85¦Ìg in 1g = 0.85ppm 
? Multiply by the mass of the sample: 
0.85¦Ìg in 2g = 2 x 0.85 = ?. ????
1c Salinity is a unitless measurement representing grams of 
salt per 1000g of seawater (i.e. ppt of salt). Considering 
the ocean has an average salinity of 35, and contains 
roughly 1.4 x 1021kg of water, how much salt is there in 
the ocean in kg?
1c ? Convert this to kg of salt per kg of water:
1c ? Convert this to kg of salt per kg of water: 
35ppt = 35mg per g = 35g per kg = 0.035kg per kg
1c ? Convert this to kg of salt per kg of water: 
35ppt = 35mg per g = 35g per kg = 0.035kg per kg 
? Multiply by the mass of the sample:
1c ? Convert this to kg of salt per kg of water: 
35ppt = 35mg per g = 35g per kg = 0.035kg per kg
