Parts per million or ppm is term used to express concentration. It is somewhat similar to weight percent, except multiply the mass ratio by 1,000,000 instead of 100.

mass of solute - x106 mass of solution ppm
As per the data given in the question,
ppm of bare soil by mass = 400
mass of solution = 1171 kg
As per the conversion factor, 1 kg = 1000 g
Therefore, mass of solution = 1.171×106 g
On substituting all the values in t...
