With Benzene and Phenol:

Does one molecules consistently have a greater LD-50 for all species? explain

Are the relative LDLO for benzene and phenol as you would expect? How were the LDLO for humans obtained? How reliable are the LDLO?

Explain which data you would use to determine a lethal dose for you and calculate the lethal dose.



Solution Summary

The toxicity of benzen and phenol with regard to their LD50 and LDLO values is discussed. Sources are given.
