The world's oceans have a combined volume of 1.335 x 109 km3 .

a. If the average density of ocean water is 1.029 g/mL, what is the combined mass of the world's oceans?

b. The Atlantic Ocean has a volume of 3.1 x 108 km3 , and the Pacific Ocean has a volume of 6.6 x 108 km3 . What percentage of the world's ocean volume is occupied by bodies of water other than the Atlantic and Pacific oceans?

c. The world's oceans are estimated to contain 3.5% dissolved solids by mass (including salts and dissolved organic compounds). If the water was "purified" by removal of these dissolved solids, calculate the mass and volume of pure water present in the world's oceans. (Assume dwater = 1.00 g/mL)

Hi, I would need the final answer along with the step by step solution( preferably under the shape of unit conversion/dimensional analysis format). Thank you!
