BDE-47 is a flame retardant that was, until fairly recently, used in electronics and furniture. It bioaccumulates in the food chain and has negative effects on the thyroid and reproductive systems, so it is now banned in the US. One of my grad students found the concentration of BDE-47 (MW = 486) in Orono wastewater was 0.3 ppb. The Henry's Law constant for BDE- 47 is 8.4*10-4 atm-L/mol. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of BDE-47. 5.185*10^-10 5.185*10^-12 5.185*10^-13 5.185*10^-15
