AIIMS 2018 Biology Concentration Units MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

The value of 2,4-D is 25 ppm25\text{ ppm}. How much amount of 2,4-D is required for making its 5 litres, 15 litres and 25 litres solutions respectively?

A

25 gm25\text{ gm}, 50 gm50\text{ gm}, 75 gm75\text{ gm}

B

50 gm50\text{ gm}, 175 gm175\text{ gm}, 525 gm525\text{ gm}

C

250 gm250\text{ gm}, 750 gm750\text{ gm}, 1250 gm1250\text{ gm}

D

125 gm125\text{ gm}, 375 gm375\text{ gm}, 625 gm625\text{ gm}

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Option D is correct because it accurately represents the relationships between mass and volume in the context of concentration, specifically that 1 ppm (parts per million) is equivalent to 1 mg of solute per liter of solution, which is a standard unit of measurement in chemistry. The conversions provided in the question clarify that 1000 g equals 1 mg, which is incorrect; rather, 1 g equals 1000 mg, indicating a misunderstanding of mass units. The other options are not relevant as they do not provide any additional information or correct calculations related to the problem. Understanding these conversions is crucial for accurately determining concentrations in solutions, such as H₂O or CO₂ in environmental science.
