Answer:

340.000 ppm

Explanation:

Parts per million (ppm) is a unit of measure for concentration that measures the number of units of substance per million units of the set. It is a concept homologous to the percentage, only in this case it is not parts per percent but per million. The ppm calculation method is different for solids, liquids and gase. There are many formulas, however in this case, you can use this fact:

[tex]10000ppm=1\%[/tex]

Using Cross-multiplication:

[tex]\frac{10000ppm}{x} =\frac{1\%}{34\%}[/tex]

Solving for [tex]x[/tex] :

[tex]x=34*10000=340000ppm[/tex]

Therefore, the concentration of a 34% solution converted to parts per million is:

[tex]340000ppm[/tex]
