The threshold limit of vanillin is 2.0E-11. If the current price of 45 g of vanillin is $112,?

Question

determine the cost to supply enough vanillin so that the aroma could be detected in a large aircraft hanger with a volume of 6.2E7 ft3

determine the cost to supply enough vanillin so that the aroma could be detected in a large aircraft hanger with a volume of 6.2E7 ft3.

Does anyone know how to do the problem and what the answer is?

Answer 1

I suppose you mean that the threshold limit ofd detection of vanillin is 2.0 x 10^-11 g/cu ft. Let vanillin be called V.

6.2x10^7cuft x 2.0x10^-11gV/1cuft x $112/45gV = $3.1x10^-3 = 0.3 cents
