Solution

The correct option is A 4×1013×NA
Density of water = 1 g/mL
Weight of 0.478 mL of water = 0.478 g
Parts per billion =weight of CHCl3(g)total weight of water (g)×1090.10=weight of CHCl30.478×109

Weight of CHCl3=0.10×0.478×109=4.78×1011g
Molar mass of CHCl3=119.5 g/mol
119.5 g of CHCl3 contains NA molecules .
4.78×1011 g will contain = NA119.5×4.78×1011g=4×1013×NA
No. of molecules = 4×1013×NA
