A pheromone is a type of volatile compound produced by a variety of insect species for chemical communication. These molecules can be used to signal alarm, to attract a mate, or to indicate the presence of food. The presence of 1.00 x 10-8 g of a pheromone can be sensed by another insect within a radius of 0.500 miles. Calculate the density of this pheromone. (1609 m 1 mile) %3D Calculate the density (g/L) of the pheromone in this cylindrical air space.
