Answer 1

Answer : The concentration of
`O_2` (g) in parts per million is, 8 ppm

Explanation : Given,

Mass of oxygen gas (solute) = 0.008 g

Mass of water (solvent) = 1000 g

First we have to calculate the mass of solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent = 0.008 + 1000 = 1000.008 g

Now we have to calculate the concentration of
`O_2` (g) in parts per million.

ppm : It is defined as the mass of solute present in one million
`(10^6)` parts by mass of the solution.

`ppm=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}* 10^6`

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

`ppm=(0.008g)/(1000.008g)* 10^6=7.99=8ppm`

Therefore, the concentration of
`O_2` (g) in parts per million is, 8 ppm
