Question:

Tetrodotoxin is a toxic chemical found in fugu pufferfish, a popular but rare delicacy in Japan. This compound has an LD₅₀ (the amount of substance that is lethal to 50% of a population sample) of 10 mg per kg of body mass. Tetrodotoxin is 41.38% carbon by mass, 13.16% nitrogen by mass, and 5.37% hydrogen by mass, with the remaining amount consisting of oxygen. What is the empirical formula of tetrodotoxin? If three molecules of tetrodotoxin have a mass of 1.59 × 10^-21 g, what is the molecular formula of tetrodotoxin? What number of molecules of tetrodotoxin would be the LD₅₀ dosage for a person weighing 165 lb?
