The concentration of iron in ppb is 5.2 ppb

In atmospheric chemistry, PPM( parts per million) and PPB( parts per billion) units are used to express the concentration of gases. PPB stands for parts per billion, while PPM stands for parts of gas per million parts of air.

2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams of iron in 500 ml of water.

Now, converting milliliter into liter:

500 mL = 500 mL × ( 1L / 1000 mL ) = 0.5 L

Now for ppm, mass must be in mg.

2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams = 2.6 × 10⁻⁶ grams × ( 1000 mg / 1 grams ) = 2.6 × 10⁻³ mg

Then, the concentration of iron in ppm will be:

2.6 × 10⁻³ mg / 0.5 L = 5.2 × 10⁻³ ppm

Now, 1 ppm = 1000 ppb

Therefore,

5.2 × 10⁻³ ppm × 10³ = 5.2 ppb

Answer:

Decomposers (either Secondary Consumer or Tertiary Consumer)

Explanation:

Decomposers eat dead materials and break them down into chemical parts. ... They keep the ecosystem free of the bodies of dead animals or carrion. They break down the organic material and recycle it into the ecosystem as nutrients. Vultures, Blowflies, hyenas, crabs, lobsters and eels are examples of scavengers.
