SUMMARY
The aqueous solution contains 0.0050% Ag+ ions, which translates to a concentration of 50 ppm. This is calculated by converting the percentage to grams (0.0050% = 0.00005g) and then determining the equivalent in ppm using the relationship that 1 mg/L equals 1 ppm. The calculation assumes a volume of 1 liter for simplicity, leading to a final concentration of 0.00005g in 1 L, which equals 50 ppm.
