Many common materials that we ingest, though quite safe in reasonable quantities, become toxic when taken in very large doses. A measure of toxicity is the LD 50 value (Lethal Dose, 50%). It is the quantity of material, expressed in mg of material per kg of subject-body-weight that, if administered to a population of subjects, would cause 50% of the population to die. The LD 50 value for FD&C Red Dye No. 40 is >10,000 mg/kg in rats. Assume that the LD 50 value for humans is the same as for rats. Calculate the number of mg of Allura Red present in an 12 fluid ounce glass of the beverage you used in this lab. Assume that the concentration of Allura Red in the beverage is 0.000034 M. The molar mass of Allura Red is 496.42 grams/mol 1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL

As part of the aspirin synthesis lab the orgo students also had to perform the following calculation to demonstrate their knowledge. Are you able to help them work this out? Saponification is a process in which soap is produced from the chemical reaction between animal fat (triglycerides) and a strong base such as KOH. An example of such balanced chemical reaction is shown here: C51H98O6 + 3KOH → C3H5(OH)3 + 3C16H31O2K (Triglyceride) (Soap) if during the saponification reaction 231.5 g of C51H98O6 is mixed with 231.5 g of KOH and 160 g of soap is produced. Calculate the theoretical yield of soap C16H31O2K and indicate who is the limiting reactant. (Provide your answer to 2 decimal places) Calculate the percent yield for this reaction (Provide your answer to 1 decimal place) *Show ALL steps and mathematical equations involved in your calculations to help the orgo students.

Q25: There are so many microbes in a single mL of culture, it is very difficult to perform one dilution to produce countable cells. Microbiologists need to perform a dilution series, where multiple dilutions are performed in sequence to arrive at the correct dilution. Dilutions are cumulative. Multiple the series of dilutions together to find the final dilution value. If 2 serial dilutions are performed, each with a value of 1, what is the cumulative dilution? Express your answer as standard notation with zero decimal places.

In a river with a constant flow rate, the factory releases wastewater containing NaCl at a concentration of 200 mmol / L to the river at 20.0 L / s. The Na+ and Cl- concentrations at the downstream observation point were 1.00 mmol / L and 0.800 mmol / L, respectively. What is the river flow Q and Cl- concentration before the inflow of drainage? The river originally contains 0.500 mmol / L of Na+.

A 1 mL sample of glycogen was calculated to contain 35 µmol (micromole) glucose. To 1 mL of this sample was added 2 mL of 2 M HCL. It was then hydrolysed by boiling the solution for 15 minutes. After boiling the hydrolysate was cooled and made up with H2O to a final volume of exactly 10 mL. The glucose was measured in this solution and found to have a concentration of 570 µg/mL (microgram/milliliter). i) Calculate the mass (mg) of glucose in the 10 mL of hydrolysate. As the 1mL of glycogen sample was made up to a final volume of 10 mL, this mass of glucose was produced by the hydrolysis of the original 1 mL glycogen sample. ii) Calculate the amount (µmol) of glucose produced by the hydrolysis of the glycogen sample. iii) Calculate the purity of the glycogen used in the sample as % Purity = (moles of measured glucose/ moles of calculated glucose in glycogen) *100 iv) state your answer in a complete sentence.
