Solution

To answer this question, we need to understand what parts per million (ppm) means. Ppm is a way of expressing very dilute concentrations of substances. 1 ppm is equivalent to 1 milligram of something per liter (mg/l).

The question states that we have a 0.90% saline solution. This means that in every 100 parts of the solution, 0.90 parts are NaCl.

To convert this percentage to ppm, we need to understand that 1% is equivalent to 10,000 ppm (because 1% is 1 part in 100 and 1 ppm is 1 part in 1,000,000, so 1% is 10,000 times larger than 1 ppm).

Therefore, to convert 0.90% to ppm, we multiply 0.90 by 10,000.

0.90 * 10,000 = 9,000 ppm

So, the correct answer is B. 9,000.
