In Appleton, Wisconsin, the median indoor airborne concentration of chloroform (CHCl3) was found to be 0.35μg m-3. Convert this concentration to a mole fraction in parts per billion (ppb) assuming that T = 293 K and P = 1 atm.

Answer : The concentration to a mole fraction in parts per billion (ppb) is, 350 ppb

Explanation :

As we are given that the concentration of chloroform is, [tex]0.35\mu g/m^3[/tex].

Now we have to convert it into parts per billion (ppb).

As we know that,

[tex]1\mu g/m^3=10^{-6}g/m^3[/tex]

and,

[tex]1\text{ ppb}=10^9[/tex]

So,

[tex]0.35\mu g/m^3=0.35\times 10^{-6}g/m^3=0.35\times 10^{-6}\times 10^9\text{ ppb}=350\text{ ppb}[/tex]

Thus, the concentration to a mole fraction in parts per billion (ppb) is, 350 ppb
