Consider the balanced reaction 7 A + 6 B → 3 C + 6 D. If 3.986 moles of A (MW = 35.44) are consumed, how many grams of D (MW = 35.02) are produced?
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 LD50 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 LD50 value for FD&C Red Dye No. 40 is >10,000 mg/kg in rats. Assume that the LD50 value for humans is the same as for rats. Calculate the number of mg of Allura Red present in an 8 fluid ounce glass of the beverage you used in this lab. Assume that the concentration of Allura Red in the beverage is 0.000054 M. The molar mass of Allura Red is 496.42 grams/mol 1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL Do not include units with your answer.

On rare occasions, faculty members have to produce reactants for their students to use. Students are similar to the judges on the show; they don't care about the sabotages or what the faculty member had to endure. However they expect reactants for their experiments to be available when they hit the lab. If I (the faculty member) come out of the stockroom with the following basket of reactants: (There may be a few I do not use or need... sort-of like having broccoli in the basket for making bacon and eggs sunny side up..): • HCI • HBr • hydrogen peroxide • 2-methyl-1-butene (fresh bottle, still with its seal unbroken, distilled and stored under nitrogen • 2-methyl-2-butene (fresh bottle, still with its seal unbroken,distilled and stored under nitrogen. • a cylinder of chlorine gas • a cylinder of bromine gas Tell me how you will prepare the following: A) You need to prepare 2-chloro-2-methylbutane as the only product of a chemical reaction.
