Answer:

400 cans of soda would be lethal.

Explanation:

In a can of soda, there is (2.13 mg/oz * 12 oz) 25 mg caffeine.

25 mg * (1g / 1000 mg) = 0.025 g

If in a can of soda there is 0.025 g of caffeine, a lethal dose of caffeine will be ingested after drinking (10.0 g * (1 can / 0.025 g)) 400 cans of soda.
