If a dose of a few tenths of a microgram of a certain substance is sufficient to kill a mouse, approximately what mass of the substance would be fatal to you? What average level of the substance would have to be present in the water you drink if you were to receive a fatal dose from this source in a week?

The weight of the mouse is 30 g, the weight of the person is 65kg.

Part A. absorbance of a cationic iron(II) sample solution was measured in a spectrophotometer, but the instrument returned an error because the absorbance was too high. The sample was then diluted by using a pipette to take 100.0 ?L of the sample and injecting it into a cuvette already containing 2.00 mL of water (total volume is 2.00 mL + 100.0 ?L). The absorbance value of the diluted solution corresponded to a concentration of 6.28รƒย—10?6 M . What was the concentration of the original solution? express the concentration to three significant figures with the appropriate units.

Part B. Molar Mass = Mass solute (in g)Moles solute

In order to prepare a certain volume of solution with a desired concentration, you would need to determine the required mass of solute. What mass of CaI2 would you need to prepare a 100. mL solution at a concentration of 0.420 M ? Express the mass in grams to three significant figures.

Part c.

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 145 lb (65.8 kg ) is 7.27รƒย—10?3 mol .

What volume of a 0.0820 M KCN solution contains 7.27รƒย—10?3 mol of KCN?

Express the volume to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
