Many common materials that we ingest, though quite safe in reasonable quantities, become toxic when taken in very large doses. A measure of toxicity is the LD 50 value (Lethal Dose, 50%). It is the quantity of material, expressed in mg of material per kg of subject-body-weight that, if administered to a population of subjects, would cause 50% of the population to die. The LD 50 value for FD&C Red Dye No. 40 is >10,000 mg/kg in rats. Assume that the LD 50 value for humans is the same as for rats. Calculate the number of mg of Allura Red present in an 12 fluid ounce glass of the beverage you used in this lab. Assume that the concentration of Allura Red in the beverage is 0.000034 M. The molar mass of Allura Red is 496.42 grams/mol 1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL

A student plots the graph of absorbance vs. concentration for their sample. They end up with a line with the equation y = 0.015x + 0.006. If the student finds the absorbance of the caffeine solution is 0.117, what would be the concentration of caffeine in mg/ml?
In 2014 (the last year for which I can find data), Utah County had a carbon monoxide (CO) average concentration of 1.90 ppm. (1 ppm stands for 1 part per million which means in one million volumes of air—choose whatever volume unit you like—there would be one volume of carbon monoxide.) An average human takes inhales 0.50 L per breath and takes 20 breaths per minute. Carbon monoxide in the atmosphere has a density of 1.2 grams per liter. 2. How many liters of carbon monoxide will a person breathe in Utah County in 8 hours?

A chemical industry discharges a waste contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) to the city sewer system. By law, the concentration of TCE must be 1 mg/L or less. To enforce this law, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducts random testing. The chief environmental engineer for the chemical company knows that the mean TCE concentration in the waste is 0.064 mg/L, and the standard deviation is 0.022 mg/L. The TCE concentration can be assumed to be a normal random variable. What is the probability that the company will fail a random test by the DEC? [In other words, the probability that a random sample will have TCE > 0.1 mg/L.] Show your work and draw a labeled sketch to show what area of the normal distribution curve you used to solve the problem. What is the probability that the company will fail two consecutive random tests? The tests can be assumed to be independent of each other. Show your work. Determine the concentration of TCE that is exceeded only 10%…

Can you actually write this out? It makes it much more difficult to read when it gets written out this way. Step 1 Here we are required to find the mass of sap that would be needed for making 1kg of syrup Step 2 Here mass of maple syrup =1 kg % of sucrose in the syrup= 66% We define w/w% as the mass of solute present in 100 gm of solution So w/w% =mass of solute ×100mass of solutionw/w of sucrose% =mass of sucrose ×100mass of maple syrup66= mass of sucrose ×1001kgmass of sucrose =66 ×1kg100=0.66kg so in 1kg of maple syrup 0.66 kg of sucrose is presentgiven in maple sap 4% sucrose present we need to find the mass of sap which contain 0.66 kg of sucrosew/w of sucrose% =mass of sucrose ×100mass of maple sap4=0.66kg ×100mass of maple sapmass of maple sap =0.66kg ×1004=16.5 kg
If a sample has an iron concentration of 0.0400 mg/mL, how many milligrams of iron are present in 0.1 L of this solution?
Be sure to answer all parts. How many moles are contained in each number of grams of fructose (C6H12O6, molar mass 180.2 g/mol), a carbohydrate that is about twice as sweet as table sugar? "Lite" food products use half as much fructose as table sugar to achieve the same sweet taste, but with fewer calories. Enter your answer in scientific notation. a. 29.0 g b. 0.0430 g
Limits are often calculated as weight per weight. The Limit of sulfate impurity in a drug substance (weight per weight) is given as 0.5 µg of sulfate per gram of drug substance. Convert 0.5 µg of sulfate per gram of drug substance into% (wt/ wt)?
A student mixes 1.47 mL of benzaldehyde (106.12 g/mol, 1.04 g/cm) with excess benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride (BTPC) to produce 1.58 g of E-stilbene (180.25 g/mol). What is the percent yield of this student's experiment? Your Answer:
barrels of toluene are being stored on the moon for use in onsite manufacturing. If each barrel contains 42 gallons, how many moles are in each container? The specific gravity of toluene is 0.867 and its molecular formula is C7H8. you may assume the molecular weights of carbon and hydrogen are 12 and 1 g/mol, respectively.
