Q23 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2018 (04 May Shift 1) · Chemistry

A litre of seawater (which weighs $1030 g$ ) contains $6 \times 10^{- 3} g$ of dissolved oxygen. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in $ppm$ is:

Required concentration $= \frac{Number of parts of a component}{Total number of parts of all components in a solution} \times 10^{6} ppm$

$= \frac{6 \times 10^{- 3}}{1030 g} \times 10^{6}$

$= 5.8 ppm$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
