Red #40 has an acute oral LD50 of roughly 5000 mg dye/1 kg body weight. This means if you had a mass of 1 kg, ingesting 5000 mg

of Red #40 will have a 50% of killing you. Determine the amount of dye a 70 kg person would need to eat to reach his or her LD50. How many moles of dye would that be? The molar mass of Red #40 is 496.42 g/mol. Using the calculated concentration of Red #40 dye in the sports drink, how many of liters of sports drink would it take to reach this LD50?

Answer:

350 g dye

0.705 mol

2.9 × 10⁴ L

Explanation:

The lethal dose 50 (LD50) for the dye is 5000 mg dye/ 1 kg body weight. The amount of dye that would be needed to reach the LD50 of a 70 kg person is:

70 kg body weight × (5000 mg dye/ 1 kg body weight) = 3.5 × 10⁵ mg dye = 350 g dye

The molar mass of the dye is 496.42 g/mol. The moles represented by 350 g are:

350 g × (1 mol / 496.42 g) = 0.705 mol

The concentration of Red #40 dye in a sports drink is around 12 mg/L. The volume of drink required to achieve this mass of the dye is:

3.5 × 10⁵ mg × (1 L / 12 mg) = 2.9 × 10⁴ L

How many grams of water can be produce from the complete reaction of excess nitric acid and 33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide
Mariulka [41]

Mass of water produced : 0.146 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide

Required

mass of water

Solution

Reaction

HNO₃ (aq) + LiOH (aq) → H₂O (l) + LiNO₃ (aq)

mol LiOH :

= M x V

= 0.245 x 33.2 ml

= 8.134 mmol

From the equation, the mol ratio of HNO₃ : H₂O = 1 : 1, so mol H₂O = 8.134 mmol

mass H₂O :

= mol x MW

= 8.134 x 10⁻³ mol x 18 g/mol

= 0.146 g
