120 ag. The mass of 1.0 × 10^6 molecules of dimethylnitrosamine is 120 ag.

Step 1. Convert molecules to moles

Moles of DMN = 1.0 × 10^6 molecules DMN× (1 mol DMN)/(6.022 × 10^23 molecules DMN) = 1.66 × 10^(-18) mol DMN

Step 2. Convert moles to grams

The formula for dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) is (CH3)2N-N=O or C2H6N2O. The molar mass is 74.08 g/mol.

Mass of DMT = 1.66 × 10^(-18) mol DMN × (74.08 g DMN/1 mol DMN)

= 1.2 × 10^(-16) g DMT = 120 × 10^(-18) g = 120 ag

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
