The toxicity of a compound is often reported as the LD50, which is the lethal dose for 50% of a population. The LD50is typically measured using mice and is reported in units of milligrams of the compound per kilogram of the body mass of the population. The LD50(mice) for caffeine is 192 mg/kg, and for nicotine it is 0.75mg/kg. Assuming the LD50for humans is similar to that measured for mice (or that you have a mouse the size of an average adult weighing 154 lb), determine the number of grams of caffeine and nicotine that would be lethal to 50% of the human (giant mouse)
A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of potassium chloride. The concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: • The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: 1.55 g • She put some solid potassium chloride into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the potassium chloride added, the cylinder weighed 31.436 g. • She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the potassium chloride completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 166.4 mL. What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. -1 g.mL x10 × Ś

A newspaper article about the danger of global warming from the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide states that "reducing driving your car by 20.0 miles a week would prevent release of over 1000. pounds of CO₂ per year into the atmosphere." To decide if this is a reasonable statement, calculate the reduction in the number of pounds of CO₂ a car would release in a year if its use was decreased by 20.0 miles per week. Think about the effects of possible variations in gas mileage on your answer. Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is octane (molecular formula C8H₁8) and that it is burned completely to CO₂ and H₂O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 26.4 miles per gallon and that the density of octane is 0.703 g cm-3. Reduction in pounds of CO₂ released = lb
