If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 1.87 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? Assum
Drupady [299]
2.77mg caffeine / 1oz12oz / 1canLethal dose: 10.0g caffeine = 10,000mg caffeine First, find how much caffeine is in one can of soda, then divide that amount by the lethal dose to find the number of cans. (2.77mg caffeine / 1oz) * (12oz / 1can) = 33.24mg caffeine / 1can. (10,000mg caffeine) * (1can / 33.24mg caffeine) = 300.84 cans. Since we can't buy parts of a can of soda, then we have to round up to 301 cans. Notice how all the values were set up as ratios and how the units cancelled.

Ben has a snack with a combination of raisins, chocolate pieces, and nuts. As he eats the snack, Ben picks out all of the raisin
erastova [34]

Answer:

Trail Mix

Explanation:

The best description for the snack that Ben is eating would be Trail Mix. This is a very common snack for hikers, hence the name, since it is very healthy and great for taking on hikes since it does not get affected by the sun. This snack was originally called GORP which stands for "good old raisins and peanuts" because the snack originally contained only raisins and peanuts. It has since changed to include various different ingredients such as a variety of nuts, chocolate pieces, dried fruit, cereal etc.

Calculate the concentration of formate in a 100mm solution of formic acid at ph 4.15. The pka for formic acid is 3.75
MissTica

The molarity of formic acid is 100 mM or 100\times 10^{-3}M. The dissociation reaction of formic acid is as follows:

HCOOH\leftrightharpoons HCOO^{-}+H^{+}

The expression for dissociation constant of the reaction will be:

K_{a}=\frac{[HCOO^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HCOOH]}

Rearranging,

[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{K_{a}[HCOOH]}{[H^{+}]}

Here, pH of solution is 4.15 thus, concentration of hydrogen ion will be:

[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.15}=7.08\times 10^{-5}M

Similarly, pK_{a}=3.75 thus,

[K_{a}=10^{-pK_{a}}=10^{-3.75}=1.78\times 10^{-4}M

Putting the values,

[HCOO^{-}]=\frac{(1.78\times 10^{-4}M)(100\times 10^{-3}M)}{(7.08\times 10^{-5}M}=0.2511 M

Therefore, the concentration of formate will be 0.2511 M.
