If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 1.71 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? assume 10.0 grams of caffeine is a lethal dose, and there are 12 oz in a can.

1000 milligrams = 1 gram

Lethal Dose:
10 grams = 10,000 milligrams

Step 1:
Lethal dose divided by mg per can.
10,000 mg / 1.71 mg= 5847.95 ounces

Step 2:
5847.95 oz / 12 oz per can= 487.32 cans

Step 3:
Round up to 488 cans because we have to buy whole cans.

Hope this helps! :)

The answer is !

You would be correct, boiling water does disinfect contamination.    the property of disinfecting means to kill  germs, bacteria and other pathogens or contamination  that might cause an infection or cause a person to become sickly. a couple methods of disinfecting are using soap, other cleaning supplies or by simply "boiling" the contaminate.  the reason why boiling water disinfects certain attributes is because some cells cannot survive the heat and pressure.
