  1. A \(4.97\)
  2. B \(6.63\)
  3. C \(3.52\)
  4. D \(9.47\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4.97\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{FeSO}_{4} \cdot 7 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{M}=277.85)\) \(\mathrm{ppm}=\frac{\text { wt. of Fe }}{\text { wt. of wheat }} \times 10^{6}\) let the wt. of salt be \(=\mathrm{w} \mathrm{gm}\) moles \(=\frac{\mathrm{w}}{277.85}\) wt. of…
