Answer #1

Chlorophyll is 2% of the Algal cell mass, which is given as 9.502 micrograms so

A full liter will have Algal mass of 50 times the chlorophyll mass since 50×2=100% total mass

So the total Algal mass in a litre should be

50×9.502= 475.1 micrograms/litre

This figure is as per the standard data given in the question statement, otherwise this amount may vary depending on the water sample.
