1 ppm iron is equal to 1 part iron in 1 million parts of solution
The exact procedure for preparing the solution will depend on what you are using as your source of iron, but in general you start by deciding what volume of 1 ppm solution you want to make first.
Let's say you want to make 1L of 1ppm iron solution. With aqueous solutions (where density stays approximately 1 mg per mL), 1ppm = 1 mg / 1 million mg = 1 mg/kg = 1 mg/L.
So you want to put 1 mg of iron into 1 L of water. Keep in mind that it has to be 1 mg of iron specifically and not necessarily 1 mg of the iron-containing compound that you might be using. Iron has an Atomic Mass of 55.845 g/mol, which can be written as 0.017907 mol/g. Therefore there is 0.017907 mmol per mg of iron. You want to have 0.017907 mmoles of iron in the solution to make it 1 ppm.
Now you just have to figure out what quantity of your iron-containing compound you need to add in order to have 0.017907 mmoles of iron in the solution. Let's imagine that you are using iron (ii) chloride, for example, which has a molar mass of 126.751 g/mol in the anhydrous form. To get 0.017907 mmoles of iron from this compound, you need to get 0.017907 mmoles of the compound itself since there is 1 mole of iron in 1 mole of the compound.
0.017907 mmoles of iron (ii) chloride has a mass of about 0.002270 g (calculated from its molar mass)
At this point if you have any analytical laboratory experience, you would realize that 0.002 g is way too small of a quantity to measure reliably on any normal analytical balance. Therefore, you will need to make a more concentrated solution first and then dilute it down to 1 ppm.
For example, you could measure out 2 g of iron (ii) chloride and dissolve it in 1 L of water to make a 1000 ppm iron solution. Then you would dilute this solution down in steps of 10 until you get down to 1 ppm (in essence, 3 dilutions, 10x10x10).
To dilute 1000 ppm to 500 ppm, you need to add an equal amount of the solution without any concentration. For example, if you have 1 mL of the 1000 ppm solution, you would need to add 1 mL of water to make it 500 ppm.
To make 1 liter of a 1000 ppm solution from a 1000 ppm stock solution, you would need 1 ml of the stock solution. This is because 1 ml of the 1000 ppm stock solution contains 1000 parts of solute in 1 million parts of solution, which is equivalent to 1 liter.
Make a 1 to 100 dilution of the original 1000 ppm solution. That is take 1 ml and dilute to 100 ml, or take 10 ml and dilute to 1000 ml. This will give you a 10 ppm solution.
To prepare a 0.2 ppm solution from a 1000 ppm solution, you would need to dilute the 1000 ppm solution by adding 5000 parts of solvent for every 1 part of the 1000 ppm solution. This means mixing 1 part of the 1000 ppm solution with 5000 parts of solvent to achieve a 0.2 ppm concentration.
Dear friends, PPM means Part Per Millions, So It means if you takes 1 gm of Solid Chloride Ions and Dissolve it in D. water. The Current Stock solution is having 1000 PPM of Chloride Ions. NOW if you want lesser PPM solution from this stock Solution, follows below rule- Required PPM Solution (A) ---------------------------------- X Required Volume of A PPM solution === Nos. of mL Stock Solution PPM (1000) to be taken from this stock solution and add in required Volume.

To prepare a 2 ppm solution of nickel nitrate, you would dissolve 2 grams of nickel nitrate in enough water to make 1 liter of solution. This will result in a solution where there are 2 parts of nickel nitrate for every 1 million parts of water.
To dilute a 10 ppm solution to 1 ppm, you would mix 1 part of the 10 ppm solution with 9 parts of a diluent (such as water). This would result in a 1 ppm concentration because the concentration has been decreased by a factor of 10 during the dilution process.
That completely depends on how much solution you need to end up with.If the solution is to be 1,000 ppm by weight (or mass), then you add 1 gramof KCl to each liter of water.
What volume of this solution do you desire? Let's say you want to make 1 liter of such a solution. You would weigh out 1 gram (1000 mg) of NaCl and dissolve it in enough water to make a final volume of 1 liter (1000 ml). Since 1000 ppm means 1000 mg/liter, this is how you make 1 liter of that solution. For larger or smaller volumes, adjust appropriately.
4 g in 1 liter will give you a 4000 ppm solution.
You prepare a primary solution then dilute portion of your solution down to the required concentration. For example, you want a 10 ppm salt solution (10 mg/L), you dilute 1 g of salt in 1 L of water you get 1000 ppm salt solution. You take 10 ml of your salt solution (0.01 g salt in 10 g) and add in additional 980 ml of water then you get a 10 ppm weight solution.
99 Liters of water. If there are 20,000 ppm of iron nitrate in 1 liter of water then you would need to reduce the iron nitrate concnetration by a factor of 100. So since you are only adding water you need to have 100 times as much water than you had originally in order to dilute the concentration to 200 ppm. Since you have 1 liter already you need to add 99 more to get 100 times more water than you originally started with. You can also solve it using the following equation: (Original Concnetration)*(Vol. original concentration) = (New concnetration)*(Original volume + amt of water to add) 20,000*1L = 200*(1L + X)20,000=200 + 200XSolving for X, X=99
