An action will release carbon tetrachloride to the atmosphere resulting in an air concentration at the source of 10° g/m3. Assume an adult inhales this contaminated air from 5pm to 9am on weekdays and 24 hours/day on weekends for their entire life, that it takes 5 minutes for the source to reach his window. Determine if the lifetime risk of developing a fatal form of cancer is acceptable.

The hydrocarbon naphthalene was frequently used in mothballs until recently, when it was discovered that human inhalation of naphthalene vapors can lead to hemolytic anemia. Naphthalene is 93.71% carbon by mass, and a 0.256-mole sample of naphthalene has a mass of 32.8 g. What is the molecular formula of naphthalene? This compound works as a pesticide in mothballs by. sublimation of the .solid so that it fumigates enclosed spaces with its vapors according to the equation Naphthalene(s)naphthalene(g)K=4.29106(at298K) If 3.00 g solid naphthalene is placed into an enclosed space with a volume of 5.00 L at 25C, what percentage of the naphthalene will have sublimed once equilibrium bas been established?

The so called hydrogen economy is based on hydrogen produced from water using solar energy. The gas may be burned as a fuel: 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) ---> 2H2O (l) A primary advanatge of hydrogen as a fuel is that it is nonpolluting. A major disadvantege is that it is a gas and therefore is harder to store than liquids or solids. Calculate the volume of hydrogen gas at 25oC and 1.00 atm required to produce an amount of energy equivalent to that produced by the combustion of a gallon of octane (C8H18). The density of cotane is 2.66 kg/gal and its standard entalpy of formation is -249.9 kj/mol.

Pesticide manufacturer OH + Incinerator QH CI CI CL CICI CI CI CI- CI CICI CI Electric company X Ci A river sediment containing dioxins and furans was collected from site X, analyzed and found to contain a limited number of congeners. Three potential sources upstream all claim not to be responsible for the contamination. The businesses include a pesticide manufacturer, an electric company that uses a mixture of PCBs and an incinerator that burns a lot of treated wood. At site X you are given a sketch of the 2 chemicals detected and the businesses show which chemicals are present that may or may not serve as precursors. 1) Based on the chemicals present at each business, draw the different dioxin and/or furan congeners that can be formed at each company. 2) Based on what they can or can not make, which business (if any) can claim innocence?
