(a)
Interpretation:
The milligrams of ethanol that would be lethal to a 132 lb adult given that LD50 for ethanol is 7060 mg/kg needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Lethal dose of a substance is given by LD50which is the amount of substance the kills 50% of a target sample.
(a)

Answer to Problem 4E
Amount of ethanol that would be lethal is 423,600 mg.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
LD50 for ethanol = 7060 mg/kg
Weight of adult = 132 lb
Calculation:
Step 1: Convert 132 lb to kg
1 kg = 2.2 lb
Step 2: Calculate the mg of ethanol
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of glasses containing 13000 mg of ethanol that would be lethal to a 22lb child needs to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Lethal dose of a substance is given by LD50which is the amount of substance the kills 50% of a target sample.
(b)

Answer to Problem 4E
Number of glasses = 5
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Weight of child = 22 lb
Amount of ethanol per glass = 13000 mg
Calculation:
Step 1: Convert 22 lb to kg
1 kg = 2.2 lb
Step 2: Calculate the ethanol lethal dose
Step 3: Calculate the number of glasses

- 6. Chlorine dioxide (CIO) is used as a disinfectant in municipal water-treatment plants. It decomposes in a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s. How long would it take for an initial concentration of 0.06 M to decrease to 0.02 M? [6 pts]arrow_forwardIf possible, replace an H atom on the a carbon of the molecule in the drawing area with a methyl group substituent, and replace an H atom on the ẞ carbon with a hydroxyl group substituent. If one of the substituents can't be added for any reason, just don't add it. If neither substituent can be added, check the box under the drawing area. en HO OHarrow_forwardCurved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons.
