This technique was pioneered by Benjamin Franklin three centuries ago. Franklin found that 0.10 mL of oil could spread over the surface of water about 40 \(m^{2}\) in an area. Assuming that the oil forms a monolayer, that is, a layer that is only one molecule thick, estimate the length of each oil molecule in nanometers \(\left(1 \mathrm{~nm}=1 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}\right)\).

A chemist in the nineteenth century collected a sample of unknown matter. In general, do you think it would be more difficult to prove that it is a pure substance or a mixture? Explain

Problem 105AP You are given a liquid. Briefly describe the steps you would take to show whether it is a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture.

Problem 109AP Lead poisoning affects nearly every system in the body and can occur with no symptoms, potentially causing it to go undiagnosed. The primary source of lead exposure is the deteriorating lead-based paint in older homes, where young children are particularly vulnerable to exposure because of their tendency to put things in their mouths. In addition to the prevention of exposure, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines recommend that public health actions be initiated when lead levels exceed 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood. Determine whether or not the following lead levels would exceed the CDC’s threshold level: (a) 3.0 × 10-4 grams per liter of blood, (b) 2.0 × 10-5 milligrams per milliliter of blood, (c) 6.5 × 10-8 grams per cubic centimeter.

Problem 111AP In January of 2009, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that a planet in our galaxy, known as HD 80606b, underwent a temperature change from 980°F to 2240°F over the course of six hours, (a) Convert these temperatures and the range they span to degrees Celsius, and to kelvins. (b) Determine the rate of temperature change per second in degrees Fahrenheit, degrees Celsius, and kelvins.

Problem 115AP The drug cidofovir is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain viral infections of the eye in patients with compromised immune systems. It is distributed in vials containing 375 mg of the drug dissolved in 5 mL of water. The manufacturer specifies that the drug should be kept at room temperature (68°F?77°F). The vial contents are first diluted with saline and then administered intravenously with a recommended dosage of 5 mg cidofovir per kilogram of body weight, (a) Convert cidofovir’s recommended storage-temperature range to the Celsius scale, (b) If the fluid in a single vial of cidofovir has a volume of 5.00 mL and a mass of 5.89 g, what is the density of the fluid, in g/mL. to the appropriate number of significant figures? (c) Convert the density in part (b) to g/L and to kg/m3, (d) What mass of cidofovir should be administered to a 185-lb man?
