Hello, on one of my thermo problems, it says, "a molar concentration of .5 parts per million." what does this mean? .5 moles in a million?
Small question about molar concentrations.

SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that a molar concentration of 0.5 parts per million (ppm) does not equate to 0.5 moles in a million. Instead, 0.5 ppm indicates that there are 0.5 grams of solute per one million grams of solution. This distinction is crucial for accurate calculations in thermodynamics and chemistry.
