I'm trying to get my head around the ppm concentration method. What is the conc. of 9.5mL of a 50 ppm aqueous solution? Is it still 50 ppm?

Im physics trained, so I'd rather see concentrations in SI units!

Any help appreciated.
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Since when any kind of concentration can depend on volume of the sample?

It is almost like asking "if I have 9.5 mL of 100 deg F water, does it still have 100 deg F"?

Do you know what is the difference between intensive and extensive properties?

Honestly - I don't understand how someone can claim to be physics trained and not understand such a basic concept.

And what do you mean by "ppm concentration METHOD"?
