2 This is a true story. A lawyer in Bloomington, Indi- ana, wanted to impress a judge with the high num ber of PCB molecules that a typical person takes in with each breath. He called Prof. Hites for this fact but he did not have this information at hand. How. ever, a student of his had recently determined that the flux of PCBS from the atmosphere to Blooming- ton's surface averaged 50 ug m year '. You may assume that the area of Bloomington is 100 square miles, that the deposition velocity of PCBS is 0.3 cm/s, and that the molecular weight of PCBS is 320. What would you tell the lawyer? -2

The atomic hydrogen exists in space at an estimated concentration of one particle per cubic meter. If the collision diameter is 2.5 ×10^(–10) meter and the temperature is 2.7 Kelvin, how many kilometers away will the next potential collision be? Express the answer in three significant figures.
In Part B, you used a similar procedure to that of Part A to determine the mass percent of CaCO3 in an antacid tablet. The commercially accepted range of CaCO3 in an antacid tablet is 25–35% by mass. Miranda obtained the data below from her Part B trial: TRIAL PRESSURE (torr) MASS OF TABLET (g) TEMPERATURE (°C) VOLUME CO2 RECOVERED (mL) 1 750.5 0.5702 21.3 69.6 2 750.5 0.5622 21.2 68.2 Miranda determined her average % Recovery of CO2 to be 65.0% from Part A. Based on her data collected from Part A, was the average percent mass of CaCO3 in her antacid tablet within the commercially accepted range? Yes, her mass percent does fall within the commercially accepted range. No, her mass percent does not fall within the commercially accepted range.

The concentration of Na in plant materials are determined by flame atomic emission. The material to be analyzed is prepared by grinding, homogenizing, and drying at 103 ºC. A sample of approximately 4 g is transferred to a quartz crucible and heated on a hot plate to char the organic material. The sample is heated in a muffle furnace at 550 ºC for several hours. After cooling to room temperature the residue is dissolved by adding 2 mL of 1:1 HNO3 and evaporated to dryness. The residue is redissolved in 10 mL of 1:9 HNO3, filtered and diluted to 50 mL in a volumetric flask. The following data are obtained during a typical analysis for the concentration of Na in a 4.0264-g sample of oat bran. Calculate the weight percent of Na in the plant sample.
