Question

Fill out the table below with your results. The FDA has determined that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of FD&C; Red 40 is 7.0 mg/kg body weight per day. An average adult weighs 140 lbs (63.5 kg), and an average 5-year-old weighs 40 lbs (18.1 kg). How many 12.fl oz red SOLO cups of your Kool-Aid flavor could an average adult consume in a day before exceeding the ADI for FD&C; Red 40? How many 12 fl oz red SOLO cups of your Kool-Aid flavor could an average 5-year-old consume in a day before exceeding the ADI for FD&C; Red 40?

Explanation / Answer

2)Average mass an adult can consume=7.0mg/kg*63.5 kg=444.5 mg

Average mass a 5 yr old can consume=7.0mg/kg*18.1 kg=126.7 mg

1 fl oz=29.573 g

so 12 fl oz(fluid ounce)=354.882 ml=0.354 L

red dye content in each cup of kool aid=3.092*10^-5 mol/L=3.092*10^-5 mol/L*496.42 g/mol=0.0153493 g/L=15.35 mg/L *0.354 L=5.433 mg

No of red solo cups an adult can consume=444.5 mg/5.433 mg=89cups

No of red solo cups a 5 yr old can consume=126.7 mg/5.433 mg= 23.32 cups
