Does plutonium have commercial value?
Plutonium is extremely expensive.
What is the most dangerous LD 50 value 500 or 17.5?
An LD50 value of 17.5 milligrams would be considered far more dangerous than an LD50 value of 500 milligrams. The LD50 value for any drug or other chemical compound is the minimum lethal dose that kills 50% of test subjects (tests are usually conducted on rats and mice). Thus the lower the value, the more toxic the drug.
True or False. Does a chemical with a LD50 of 1000mg over kg have less toxicity than one with LD50 of 100mg over kg?
True. The chemical with an LD50 of 1000mg/kg is less toxic than the one with an LD50 of 100mg/kg. LD50 is the lethal dose at which 50% of the test subjects die, so the higher the LD50 value, the less toxic the chemical is considered.
Why is the LD50 of a mouse different from a human's LD50?
ld50 for lamotrigine
What is the LD50 of methanol for a 100 gram rat?
The LD50 of methanol for rats is typically around 5628 mg/kg. To calculate the LD50 for a 100 gram rat, you would multiply the LD50 value by the weight of the rat in kilograms (100 grams = 0.1 kg) to get an estimated lethal dose.
What does High LD50?
A high LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of the population) indicates that a substance is relatively less toxic, as it takes a larger amount of the substance to cause death in half of a test population. In toxicology, a high LD50 value suggests that the compound is safer and poses a lower risk of toxicity compared to substances with a low LD50, which require smaller doses to achieve lethal effects. Therefore, when evaluating the safety of chemicals or drugs, a high LD50 is generally seen as favorable.
Why does Magnesium Sulfate not have an LD50?
Magnesium sulfate does not have a specific LD50 value because it is not regarded as acutely toxic in typical exposures seen in therapeutic applications. It is commonly used as a medication, mainly for maternal eclampsia and as a supplement to correct magnesium deficiency.
The oral ld50 value for cypermethrin is 247 mgkg compared to 5000 mgkg for hexaflumuron therefore what is the more toxic of these two pesticide?
Cypermethrin, assuming the LD50s for the two chemicals are for the same period of time. LD50 is the lethal concentration where half of the individuals die in a given time period. Higher numbers mean that is takes more of the chemical to kill organisms, whereas lower numbers mean it takes less of the chemical to kill organisms. LD50s depend on what animal was used in the experiment.
What do you mean by LD50 value for heroin?
The 'median lethal dose'. In other words, the average dose that would be enough to kill you
Plutonium dioxide pH?
Plutonium dioxide does not readily dissolve in water to create a measurable pH value. However, if it were to react with water, it may form plutonium hydroxide which can be slightly basic. It's important to handle plutonium compounds with care due to their radioactive nature.
What is ld50 of calcium?
The LD50 of calcium is the amount of calcium that would be lethal to 50% of the test population. The LD50 value for calcium can vary depending on the form of calcium, but generally, it is considered to be relatively high. Ingesting extremely high doses of calcium supplements can lead to toxicity symptoms like kidney stones, constipation, and heart rhythm abnormalities.
How do you know how powerful a poison is?
The strength of a poison is determined by its LD50 value (Lethal Dose). The LD50 value is the amount of toxin it takes to kill 50 percent of a population each time a dosing experiment is done in a lab setting. The value is measured by mg/kg of body weight. For example, the LD50 value of salt is 1000 mg.kg body weight, that means that every kg of body weight must contain 1000 mg of salt in it to cause death. The lower the LD50 value, the more potent or deadly the poison is. Remember that death is not the only end point measured in toxicology. There are many poisons that cause severe adverse effects well before they kill someone. Someone may experience things such as paralysis or cognitive disruption at levels much below the LD50 value, and some poisons take much larger doses to cause effects than others. Remember, the dose defines the poison, but the power of the poison is measure technically by the LD50 value.
