- 1) The nerve gas Sarin, which was released in a Tokyo subway station in 1996, has a molecular formula of C4H10PO2F. You are a detective that has just isolated an unknown, “suspicious" compound in a raid. You are asked to determine if it is Sarin. To do so, you combust a 10.0g sample of this compound. In this reaction, some of the atoms in sarin will combine together with oxygen to make new molecules. 15.6g CO2 and 6.4g H½O are produced in this reaction, along with other products. Using numerical calculations, prove that this compound cannot be Sarin. Explain your reasoning clearly. (Problem developed by Logan M. McCarty) 2) Estimate the number of water molecules on Earth.

- Automobiles are often implicated as contributors to global warming because they are a source of the greenhouse gas CO₂. How many pounds of CO₂ would your car release in a year if it was driven 110. miles per week? Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is isooctane (molecular formula C8H18) and that it is burned completely to CO2 and H₂O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 24.0. miles per gallon and that the density of isooctane is 0.692 g/cm³.
