Assuming the radius of diatomic molecules is approximately 1.0  10-10 m, for what pressure will the mean free path in room-temperature (20C) nitrogen be 4.6 m?
 
  The Boltzmann constant is 1.38  10-23 J/K, Avogadro's number is 6.02  1023 molecules/mole, and the ideal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/molK = 0.0821 L  atm/mol  K.
  A) 4.9  10-8 atm
  B) 6.9  10-8 atm
  C) 1.5  10-7 atm
  D) 2.2  10-7 atm

Question 2

What is the mean free path of a gas of randomly-moving hard spheres of radius 2.00  10-9 m when the density of spheres is 3.00  1019 per cubic meter?
 
  A) 1.17  10-4 m
  B) 4.00  10-9 m
  C) 9.76  10-5 m
  D) 1.88  10-3 m
  E) 4.69  10-4 m

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.
