  • B. 7.69
  • C. 5.20
  • D. 4.11

Explanation

A is correct since the solution is given asGiven: Water = 103 g(1 kg), Oxygen = 5.65 x 10-3 gRequired : Oxygen in ppm = ?Formula : Ppm = value in gram / amount of water ( solvent ) x 106Ppm = 5.65 x 10-3 / 103 x 106 = 5.65ppmB, C and D are incorrect because these are not correct values in ppm
