Determine the number of milligrams of tartrazine


One can of soda pop is 355 mL. Determine the number of milligrams of tartrazine that are consumed when drinking one can of Mountain Lightning (the molecular weight of tratrazine is 534.37 g mol -1). If the LD50 of tartrazine in humans is assumed to be 12,750 mg/kg (as it is for mice) and the average human weighs 70 kg, how many cans of Mountain Lightning would an individual have to drink to die from a tartrazine overdose? Is this possible?
