Consider a house into which radon is emitted through cracks in the basement. The total volume of the house is 650 m^3 (assume the volume is well mixed throughout). The radon source emits 250 pCi/s. (A picoCurie [pCi] is a unit proportional to the amount of radon gas and indicates the amount of radioactivity of the gas.) Air inflow and outflow can be modeled as a flow of clean air into the house of 722 m^3/h and an equal air flow out. Radon can be considered conservative in this problem.

-What is the retention time of the house?
-What is the steady-state concentration of radon in the house (units of pCi/L)?

7. using your knowledge of colligative properties explain whether sodium chloride or calcium chloride would be a more effective substance to melt the ice on a slick sidewalk. use 3 – 4 sentences in your explanation. 8. when a 2.5 mol of sugar (c12h22o11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 celsius degree. if 2.5 mol of aluminum nitrate is added to the same amount of water, by how much will the boiling point be changed? show all calculations leading to your answer or use 3 – 4 sentences to explain your answer. 9. if 5.40 kcal of heat is added to 1.00 kg of water at 100⁰c, how much steam at 100⁰c is produced? show all calculations leading to an answer. 10. the freezing of water at 0⁰c can be represented as follows: h2o (l) ↔ h2o(s) the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. in 3 – 4 sentences explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion (vsepr) theory, a molecule that has four electron groups around the central atom will exhibit what electron geometry? view available hint(s) according to the valence shell electron pair repulsion (vsepr) theory, a molecule that has four electron groups around the central atom will exhibit what electron geometry? trigonal bipyramidal tetrahedral square planar determination of electron geometry requires information on whether the electron groups are lone pairs or bonding groups.
