Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Density of a gas = 1.25 g/L

To convert this quantity into ounce/mililiter, we use the following conversion factors:

1 gram = 0.04 ounce

1 Liter = 1000 mili Liter

Converting the given quantity of gram/Liter into ounce/mililiter, we get:


\Rightarrow ((1.25gram)/(Liter))* ((0.04ounce)/(1gram))* ((1Liter)/(1000mL))\\\\\Rightarrow 5* 10^(-5)ounce/mL

For the conversion, we multiply 1.25 by 0.04 and then divide the result obtained by 1000.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
