the fuel tank has 60,000 grams.
50 ppm means that 50/1000000 or 0.00005% is sulfur dioxide
SO in 60,000 grams, there is 3 grams of sulfur dioxide

3 grams of sulfur dioxide is 3/64 mols = 0.047 mols

0.047 mols= volume/24.79

Volume = 1.16 L

Just a question, would that be an example of a high order question?
Ie. Band 6 based.

0.00005%... you sure its wrong?
Seems right to me

5/100000*100%=5/1000 % = 0.005 %
