10.0 dm3 gas cylinder containing mixture of various gases 50cm3 of nitrogen gas is in the mixture what is the concentration of N2 gas in part per billion (ppb).

Correct answer: B. Option B

  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation

Students should remember that a billion has 9 zeros so option C and D can be eliminated. Also that 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³ so 10 dm³ = 10,000 cm³ So the correct answer is option B i.e 50/10,000 x 109As it is numerical, it can have only one answer.

About Concentration Units

Concentration units express the amount of solute in a given amount of solution or solvent. Calculations cover molarity, molality, normality, mole fraction, mass percentage, volume percentage, parts per million and dilution, including the effect of temperature on volume-based units and the distinction between molarity and molality.
