Chapter 7, Problem 9CI
Oxalic acid, a compound found in plants and vegetables such as rhubarb, has a mass percent composition of 26.7% C. 2.24% H. and 71.1% O. Oxalic acid can interfere with respiration and cause kidney or bladder stones. If a large quantity of rhubarb leaves is ingested, the oxalic acid can be toxic. The lethal dose (LD50) in rats for oxalic acid is 375 mg/kg. Rhubarb leaves contain about 0.5% by mass of oxalic acid. (2.7, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6)
Rhubarb leaves are a source of oxalic acid.
- What is the empirical formula of oxalic acid?
- if oxalic acid has an experimental molar mass of 90. g. what is its molecular formula?
- Using the LD50, how many grams of oxalic acid would be toxic for a 160-lb person?
- How many kilograms of rhubarb leaves would the person in part c need to eat to reach the toxic level of oxalic acid?
