Enviromental Chemistry Problem
« on: May 17, 2006, 12:49:52 AM »
I need help with the following organic chemistry problem...

Radioactive radon gass (222Rn) enters and average bulding at a rate of 5 picocuries per second per square meter of foundation area. Consider a house with a foundation of 250 square meters and a volume of 1000 cubic meters. Assume the house if well designed for energy conservation so that the ventilation rate is low and only one tenth of the air in the house is exchanged with outdoor air every hour. What will be the average steady state concentration of 222Rn (in Ci/cubic meter) in the house?

It has nothing to do with organic... HS or General. And - even if it is not obvious - that's kinetic question.
