Expert Solution
Step 1

Methyl mercury levels higher than 3.00×10-4 mg/dL are toxic to central nervous system. Whether the given levels of methyl mercury are life threatening or not is to be determined-

      1. 50 µg/L

  1. 50 cg/mL
Step 2
  1. Convert the unit µg/L into mg/dL

1 µg = 0.001 mg

1 L = 10 dL (decilitres)

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 2

Step 3

Thus, 2.50×10-4 mg/dL < 3.00×10-4 mg/dL.

Hence, 2.50 µg/L levels of methyl mercury is not life threatening.
