Question

You are a pharmaceutical scientist involved in a novel drug testing. The drug tolerance threshold in patient's aqueous fluids is approximately 10-3 M(molarity units). The drug's condensed molecular formula is C23H38N508Zn1Cd2. Assuming that an average aqueous content of a human body is approximately 70%(by mass), calculate the maximum safe dose of the drug for a patient whose weight is 68 kg. Express your answer in grams. Hint: water density is 1kg/L

Answer 1

With the given data, mass of the drug is calculated as shown above, but the amount calculated may not have any practical significance as the calculated value is very large. There might be a possibility that the data provided in the problem is not correct. If so is the case, the procedure to solve the problem is same except for the numerical data which may change accordingly.
