Interpretation:
15 ppm has to be expressed as a percent, likewise, 2% has to be expressed in terms of ppm. It should be determined that, how many times lower is the ULSD than the older formulation of diesel fuel.
Concept Introduction:
Parts per million (ppm) is the concentration units which is used when dealing with extremely dilute solutions.

Explanation of Solution
15 ppm can be expressed as a percent as follows,
Similarly,
2% can be expressed in ppm as follows,
From these values it is clear that 15 ppm is roughly 1300 times smaller than 20,000.

Explanation of Solution
Given,
Prior to 1990, diesel fuel in the united states could contains as much as 2% sulfur. New regulations have changed this, and today most diesel fuel is ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) containing a maximum of 15 ppm sulfur.
A chemical equation that shows how burning diesel fuel containing sulfur contributes to air pollution can be written as follows,
In diesel sulfur dioxide is present in small percenatge as mentioned above, this on burning in presence of oxygen will produce sulfur trioxide.

Actually, diesel is a fossil fuel, its burning can not be considered as sustainable in any way. The old diesel engines emits more pollutants too and so these have a high cost in terms of public health. Conversely, the ultra – low sulfur diesel fuel is definitely a step in the right direction.

Chemistry In Context
- PERCENT SOLUTIONS Many chemical solutions are mixed as percent concentrations. When working with a dry chemical, the percent is calculated as grams dry chemical in 100 ml. This is known as a weight/volume or W/V formula. 0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution is ………. g NaCl in ………. ml water. When the formula includes a liquid chemical, then the percent solution is volume added chemical in ml made up to 100 ml with solvent. 10% (v/v) acetic acid solution in water is ………. ml glacial acetic acid added to ………. ml water.arrow_forwardA sample contains FeS2.
