The ingestion of lead from food, water, or other environmental source can lead poisoning, a serious condition that affects the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as distractibility, lethargy, and loss of motor function. Lead poisoning treated with chelating agents, substances that bind to lead and allow it to be eliminated in urine. A modern chelating agent used for this purpose is succimer (C 4 H 6 O 4 S 2 ) suppose you are trying to determine the appropriate dose for succimer treatment of lead poisoning. Assume that a patient’s blood lead levels are 0.550 mg/L, that blood volume is 5.0 L, and that 1 mol of succimer binds 1 mol of lead. What minimum mass of succimer in milligrams is needed to bind all of the lead in this patient’s bloodstream?

2) (4 pt) After the reaction was completed, the student collected the following data. Crude
product data is the data collected after the reaction is finished, but before the product
is purified. "Pure" product data is the data collected after attempted purification using
recrystallization.
Student B's data:
