Given :

A seawater sample contains 2.7 mg chlorophyll m⁻³.

To Find :

What is the chlorophyll concentration in units of mg L⁻¹.

Solution :

We know, 1 m³ = 1000 L .

So, 1 m⁻³ = 10⁻³ L⁻¹

Concentration is :

[tex]c = 2.7\ mg\ m^{-3}\\\\c = 2.7\times 10^{-3}\times \ mg\ L^{-1}\\\\c = 0.0027 \ mg\ L^{-1}\\\\c = 2.7\ \mu g \ L^{-1}[/tex]

Therefore, the chlorophyll concentration in units of mg L⁻¹ is [tex]2.7\ \mu g \ L^{-1}[/tex].

Hence, this is the required solution.
