The mass of methane found in the person is 0.26 g

Explanation:

ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

$\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6$

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Concentration of methane = 4 ppm

Mass of person = 65 kg = 65000 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4=\frac{\text{Mass of methane}}{65000g}\times 10^6\\\\\text{Mass of methane}=\frac{4\times 65000}{10^6}=0.26g$

Hence, the mass of methane found in the person is 0.26 g
