One individual was told that his total blood cholesterol concentration should be less than 200.mg/dL and another individual was told that his total cholesterol should be less than 5.2x10^-3 M. Are these two values equivalent? If the values differ, which number represents the higher value?

Solution

cholestrol is C27H46O
Its molar mass is 386.65 g/mol

we have:
200 mg/dL = 0.200 g/dL
= 2.00 g/L
= (2.00/386.65) mol / L
= 0.0052 mol/L
= 5.2*10^-3 M

this is same as other person

Answer: yes, they are equivalent
