Answer:
The proportion of dissolved substances in seawater is usually expressed in ppm, ppb or ppt
Step-by-step explanation:
The concentration of very diluted solutions should be expressed in parts per million, billion or trillion.
ppm = mass from the solute . 10⁶ / mass or volume of the solution
ppb = mass from the solute . 10⁹ / mass or volume of the solution
ppt = mass from the solute . 10¹² / mass or volume of the solution
ppm = mg/kg, μg/g, μg/mL → These are the units
ppb = ng/g
ppt = pg/g
