1. Imagine that you model your lungs as a 5 L sealed balloon at sea level: How would the pressure and temperature at 100 m below sea level affect the speed of the air molecules in your lungs compared to their speed at sea level? Assume that the temperature of your body will adjust to the surrounding temperature as you descend. Keep in mind that, in general, your breathing adjusts to keep the same number of particles of air in your lungs at different depths.
2. When is the effect of particle size on the average pressure larger, at small or at large volumes?

Microwaves are a type of radio waves. Microwave ovens typically use microwaves with a wavelength of 12 cm. They are able to heat foods because water molecules absorb the energy of the microwave photons. If you heat a cup of water from 25°C to 100°C, how many microwave photons, on average, hit each molecule of water while it is being heated?

An environmental chemist working for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was directed to collect razor clams from a heavily-contaminated river superfund site and analyze them for cadmium (Cd2 ) content using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The chemist dried the clams at 95° C overnight and ground them in a scientific blender, resulting in ~ 50 g of homogenized dry weight. A representative 64.00 mg sample was taken from the ~ 50 g of dry material and dissolved in 100.00 mL of 0.1 M HCl to create a sample solution. Using the method of standard additions, the chemist prepared five standard solutions in 100.00-mL volumetric flasks, each containing 5.00-mL aliquots of the sample solution. Varying amounts of a 89.0 ppb (μg ·L-1) cadmium standard were added to each of the flasks, which were then brought to volume with 0.1 M HCl. The solutions were then examined for their Cd2 content using GFAAS, resulting in the following absorbance data.
Determine the amount of Cd2 per gram of dry clam. Express your final result as milligrams of Cd2 per gram of dry clam
