How many milligrams of lorazepam would be lethal?

The lethal dose of lorazepam can vary depending on factors like individual tolerance and health status. However, a dose of around 50-200 milligrams of lorazepam has been reported to be potentially lethal for adults. It is crucial to follow prescribed dosages and seek immediate medical attention if there is a concern of overdose.


How do you find the lethal dose in moles not kg of ethylene glycol?

The EPA reports that 120cc is the lethal dose. Regular EG (C2H6O2) has a density of 1.115 g/cc @ 20 deg C (68 deg F) and 1.085 g/cc @ 60 deg C (140 deg F). Thus at room temp, 133.8 g of liquid EG is lethal. The molecular weight is 62.07 g/g-mol. So, to answer your question, 2.156 g-mole of pure, liquid EG at room temperature is lethal.


How is ld50 or lc50 designed in general?

LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of a population) and LC50 (lethal concentration for 50% of a population) are designed through controlled experiments that assess the toxicity of a substance. Researchers typically expose a group of test organisms to varying doses or concentrations of the substance to determine the level at which 50% of the subjects experience lethal effects. The data is then analyzed statistically to calculate the median lethal dose or concentration, providing a measure of the substance's acute toxicity. This information is critical for risk assessment and regulatory purposes.


What is unit of toxicity and to measure it?

Toxicity is typically measured in terms of lethal dose (LD50), which represents the dose at which 50% of the test subjects exposed to a substance die. Other measures of toxicity include LC50 (lethal concentration) for gases and EC50 (effective concentration) for substances that don't necessarily cause death but have a measurable effect on an organism.
