(a) Draw the dot‑and‑cross diagram for an oxygen molecule, O2 . Show outer shell electrons only. (1) (b) The solubility of oxygen in water under standard conditions is 1.22 × 10–3 mol dm–3. Comment on this value by considering the type and strength of the intermolecular forces in • pure water • pure oxygen • a mixture of water and oxygen. Detailed descriptions of the forces involved are not required.

(ii) The concentration of oxygen in water is often expressed in parts per million (ppm), where 1 ppm equals 1 g of solute dissolved in 1 × 106 g of solvent. Calculate the concentration of the oxygen in the sample of river water in ppm. Assume the density of the river water is 1.00 g cm–3.
