Welcome to the Chemistry Forensics Agency. At the CFA, we use our chemistry expertise and understanding to helpsolve problems of a potentially criminal nature. Bucks McGee, after being poisoned, is currently being treated in thehospital with an antidote- the chemical Fe7(CN)18. The compound is so intensely coloured that even a small amount ofit makes for a black or dark blue suspension. Given that this antidote has never been administered at the hospital, noneof the doctors or nurses have experience with it. There is one very old bottle of Fe7(CN)18 pills in the medicinestoreroom, but the label is worn, and the units are in the old, archaic British Apothecaries' system which has unusualunits like drachms, scruples, grains, and mites: 453.6 grams (g) = 1 pound (lb) = 12 ounces (3) = 96 drachms(3) = 288 scruples (3) = 5760 grains (gr) = 115200 mites (m) It would take days (at least!) for a new bottle of theantidote to be ordered and received, and Bucks McGee probably doesn't have days! The instructions on the worn bottlelabel of Fe7(CN)18 pills read as follows: "Each pi-Ic-ntains 12.5 of act-ve-ngre- dient. Adm-i-- ister thr-e tim - s-aily unt-1-ymptoms dimi-ish." One doctor phoned an old, retired physician who had used this antidote long ago atanother hospital, and who seemed to remember that they used to make 0.025 M solutions of this compound in ethanoland give 45 mL of the solution three times daily. What critical information is missing from the worn label? How many pillsshould the patient be given each day to remove the poison? Please work quickly! Instructions: Write a professional reportto communicate your results for the administration of the antidote. What should the label say? What unit is missing (This has to be one of the units listed in the background information)? Explain how you came to your conclusion. Howmany pills should be given 3 times daily?
