Answer:
[tex]\%m/m=0.15\%[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we are asked to compute the by mass percent representing the toxicity of ethylene glycol in the body mass. In such a way, since the by mass percent is computed as follows:
[tex]\%m/m=\frac{m_{solute}}{m_{solute}+m_{solvent}} *100\%[/tex]
Whereas the solute is the ethylene glycol in the body mass, we obtain:
[tex]\%m/m=\frac{1.5g}{1.5g+1000g} *100\%\\\\\%m/m=0.15\%[/tex]
Best regards.
The percentage of ethylene glycol that is fatal would be 0.15%.
The toxic quantity is 1.5 g of ethylene glycol for 1000 g of body mass.
The percentage toxic quantity in relation to the body mass can be calculated as:
Percentage = mass of toxic quantity/body mass x 100%
= 1.5/1000 x 100%
= 0.15 %
Thus, the fatal level of ethylene glycol is 0.15% of body mass.
