Pheromones are compounds secreted by females of many insect species to attract mates. Typically,  1.00  ×  10−8 g  of a pheromone is sufficient to reach all targeted males within a radius of  0.500 mi.  Calculate the density of the pheromone (in grams per liter) in a cylindrical air space having a radius of 0.500 mi and a height of 32.0 ft (volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is  π r2h). Enter your answer in scientific notation.
