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

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.
