Question

Potassium cyanide is a toxic substance, and the median lethal dose depends on the mass of the person or animal that ingests it. The median lethal dose of KCN for a person weighing 135 lb (61.2 kg ) is 5.74×10−3 mol . What volume of a 0.0640 M KCN solution contains 5.74×10−3 mol of KCN? Express the volume to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume will be 89.6875 ml

Explanation:

So to count this we will use a single proportion.

0.0640 mol - 1000 ml

5.74×10−3 mol - x ml

x ml=5.74×10−3 mol*1000 ml/0.0640 mol=89.6875 ml
