A political candidate fighting for a smoke-free environment conducts an experiment in a room containing 1400 cubic feet of air that is initially free of carbon monoxide. Beginning at time t=0, cigarette smoke containing 4% carbon monoxide is introduced into the room at the rate of 0.1 cubic foot per minute, and the well-circulated mixture is allowed to leave the room at the same rate. If carbon monoxide levels in the air reach 0.012%, it is harmful to the human body. Find the time at which this unhealthy level is reached.

Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
