### Hydrogen Cyanide Toxicity Calculation

#### Problem Context

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a poisonous gas. The lethal dose is approximately **330 mg HCN per kilogram of air** when inhaled.

#### Part A

**Question:**
Calculate the amount of HCN that gives the lethal dose in a small laboratory room measuring **12 x 14 x 8 ft**. The density of air at 25°C is **0.00118 g/cm³**.

**Instructions:**
Express your answer using two significant figures.

**Answer Submission Section:**

- Input field for answer (m = ___ g)
- Submit button
- Previous Answer, Request Answer buttons
- Feedback showing an incorrect attempt with 4 remaining attempts: 
  - "Incorrect; Try Again: 4 attempts remaining"

#### Part B

**Question:**
If HCN is formed by reaction of NaCN with an acid such as H₂SO₄, what mass of NaCN gives the lethal dose in the room? The reaction is:

\[ 2NaCN_{(s)} + H₂SO₄_{(aq)} → Na₂SO₄_{(aq)} + 2HCN_{(g)} \]

**Instructions:**
Express your answer using two significant figures.

**Answer Submission Section:**

- Input field for answer (m = ___ g)
- Submit button
- Request Answer button


### Additional Notes:

1. **Units Conversion:**
   - Convert room dimensions from feet to centimeters.
   - Convert air density from g/cm³ to lb/ft³ if necessary.

2. **Lethal Dose Calculation:**
   - Calculate the room volume.
   - Determine the mass of air in the room.
   - Use the given lethal dose to find the required mass of HCN.

3. **Stoichiometry:**
   - Use the balanced chemical reaction to determine the mass of NaCN needed to produce the calculated mass of HCN.
