Answer:
The mass of CO in 12,000 Liters of air is [tex]12\times 10^4 mg[/tex].
Explanation:
The ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in one Liter of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.
To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}(mg)}{\text{Volume of solution}(L)}[/tex]
The ppm concentration of CO = 10 ppm
Mass of CO = m
Volume of air = 12,000 L
[tex]10 =\frac{m}{12,000 L}[/tex]
[tex]m=10\times 12,000 mg=120,000 mg=12\times 10^4 mg[/tex]
The mass of CO in 12,000 Liters of air is [tex]12\times 10^4 mg[/tex].
