Solution:

Mass of plastic beads = 10 g

Volume of plasctic beads = (10 g) / (1.2 g cm-3) = 8.33 cm3 = 8.33 mL

Volume of organic solvent = 500 mL

Volume of solution = 8.33 mL + 500 mL = 508.33 mL = 0.50833 L = 0.508 L

Therefore,

Concentration of plastic beads = (10 g) × (1000 mg / 1 g) × (1 / 0.508 L) = 19685 mg/L

Concentration of plastic beads = 19685 mg/L


Answer: The concentration of plastic beads is 19685 mg/L.
