Answer:
The mass of nickel is 48μg
Explanation:
Parts per billion is a way to describe small concentrations and is defined as the ratio between μg of solute and kg of solvent.
If a solution of nickel in propanol is 20ppb, contains 20μg of nickel in 1 kg of propanol.
Thus, a sample of 2.4kg of propanol will contain:
2.4kg × (20μg nickel / 1kg) = 48μg nickel
The mass of nickel is 48μg
