The 1875 Chamber Street fire claimed many victims. A whiskey distillery in Dublin went into flames and released a river of whiskey, crowds gathered along the stream of alcohol to scoop up the liquor using caps, porringers, and other vessels. In all, 13 people died, not because of the fire, but of
alcohol poisoning.
a. If the average human weights 137 pounds, the Human LD50 of ethanol is ~2000mg/kg. And the typical content of alcohol in whiskey is 40% . How much alcohol does the average human must drink to succumb to alcohol poison. Assume the density of whiskey is 1 so that 1 ml of whiskey is 1 gram of whiskey. In addition, assume that the LD50 is the amount required to succumb to alcohol poison.

A stock solution containing 25% w/v of chlorhexidine is used to prepare an antiseptic such that when the antiseptic is diluted 1 in 25, a 1 in 500 wash solution is obtained which is ready for use by the patient. What volume (ml) of the stock solution is required to prepare 5 litres of the antiseptic to fulfil a bulk manufacturing order?arrow_forwardBeyond the Course: Your beverage company is branching out from added sugar in their beverages to make a drink where the main ingredient is fresh-squeezed orange juice, called Beverage C. Yum! The beverage will still be subjected to the same taxes as Beverages A & B, so determining sugar content is still vital. Suggest a method of reliably examining the sugar concentration in each batch of Beverage C. Some considerations to address: Do you want to measure the same property for Beverage C as you did for Beverages A & B? ● Can you use the same calibration curve as you did for Beverages A & B? Describe the considerations you made when determining your method.arrow_forward45.
