a 20 year old male was brought to paramedics after ingesting 100mL of pure ethylene glycol which is a lethal dose. The hospital pharmacy is out of ehtanol so they use a bottle of 100-proof whiskey in your medical bag. How much whiskey should be administered in order to reduce the rate at which liver alcohol dehyrogenase (LADH) oxidizes the ethylene glycol to 5% of its original value?

1) the man has 40L of aqueous fluids throughout which ingested alcohols are rapidly and uniformly mixed.

2) density of ethanol is 0.79g/mL; density of ethylene glycol is 1.1g/mL

3) Molar mass of ethanol is 46g/mol; molar mass of ethylene glycol is 62g/mol

4) the Km values of LADH for ethanol and ethylene glycol are 3.2x10^-4 M and 5.0x10^-2 M

5) K1=Km for ehtanol
