    1080 ppb

    Explanation:

    Parts Per Billion is defined as the number of parts of a solute per one billion parts of a solution.

    ppb = (Weight of Solute / Weight of Solution) * 10⁹

    Data Given;

    Weight of Solute (CO₂) = 0.000540 g

    Weight of Solution = 500 g

    Putting Values,

    ppb = (0.000540 g / 500 g) * 10⁹

    ppb = 1.08 * 10⁻⁶ * 10⁹

    ppb = 1080

    Result:

    It means if given solution is containing 1 billion particles then 1080 particles in that are of CO₂.
