Chapter 1: Problem 123
Pheromones are compounds secreted by females of many insect species to attract mates. Typically, \(1.0 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~g}\) of a pheromone is sufficient to reach all targeted males within a radius of \(0.50 \mathrm{mi}\). Calculate the density of the pheromone (in grams per liter) in a cylindrical air space having a radius of \(0.50 \mathrm{mi}\) and a height of \(40 \mathrm{ft}\) (volume of a cylinder of radius \(r\) and height \(h\) is \(\pi r^{2} h\) ).
