Question

The concentration of Mercury found in fish varies among region and type of fish. Large predator fish such as swordfish can contain more than 1 ppm, which is considered too high by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. Eating fish containing this level of Mercury is a risk to developing nervous systems in unborn babies and children. In a healthy adult, Mercury is removed from the body naturally, but slowly. If a 500.0 g piece of swordfish contains 3.0 x 10-4 g of Mercury. What is the concentration of the Mercury in this fish in units of parts per million (ppm)?
