Chapter 0, Problem 0.87CHP
An Eastern diamondback rattlesnake was milked until 0.134 g of venom was obtained. The venom was then administered subcutaneously in equal portions to 550 mice with an average weight of 0.70 oz, and exactly half the mice died. What is the LD50 (in g/kg) for the snake venom in mice? See the FYI at the end of this chapter.

Students have asked these similar questions
typical aspirin tablet contains 5.00 grains of pure aspirin analgesic compound. The
rest of the tablet is starch. How many

A commercial research organization is planning to develop a sensor to detect methyl parathion that may be injected into a water supply by terrorists. The LD50 for methyl parathion is reported to be as low as 6 mg ・ kg−1 for rats. They are assuming a safety factor of 1 × 105 and a volume of liquid ingested equal to a cup of coffee (about 250 mL) in the design of the instrument. What concentration (in mg ・ L−1) must their instrument be able to detect? Using Equation 6–10, the concentration you have calculated, the ingestion rate of 250 mL, an exposure frequency of one day, and exposure duration of one day, an adult malebody weight, and an averaging time of 1 day, estimate the hazard index. The RfD for methyl parathion is 2.5 × 10−4 mg ・ kg−1 ・ d−1 .
Calculate the oral dosage in 200.0 mg tablets of Amoxicillin for a 66.0 lb child. Recommended dosage, divided every 8.00 hours = 20.0 mg/kg･day.
