 * __Time Length__ **
 * 3 Days
 * __Instructions__ **
 * // In groups of 4 or less, f //// igure out which substance was on which person by following the directions below. A completed project will have a fully filled out Suspect Chart, stapled to all the groups math work and a half page story. //
 * // You should divide up the problems so each person does at least 2 or 3. You can collaborate on the story (there is no right answer) or you can assign it to one person. //
 * // Write a story about why the plane crashed, who cause it to happen, and who was dead on the plane before it crashed. //

**1) Copy the suspect chart on one piece of paper for the group**

 * ~  |||| **Suspect Chart** ||~   ||
 * **Victim #** || **Empirical Formula(s)** || **Name of Compound(s)** || **Name of Victim** ||

==**2) take the 12 samples taken off of the unidentified dead bodies from below and divide them amongst the group. (some of the victims had multiple samples taken from them, that is why there is an a & b on some) (write yours down)**==

__**Percent Compositions:**__
 * **__Victim #__** |||||||| **__Analysis of Compound (%)__** || **__Location of compound__** ||
 * 1. || C = 67.31 || H = 7.00 || N = 4.62 || O = 21.1 || pockets and luggage ||
 * 2-A || C = 63.15 || H = 5.26 ||  || O = 31.5 || briefcase ||
 * 2-B || C = 46.66 || H = 4.44 || N = 31.1 || O = 17.76 || stomach ||
 * 3 || C = 71.50 || H = 6.98 || N = 4.68 || O = 16.03 || pockets ||
 * 4 || C = 15.87 || H = 2.20 || N = 18.51 || O = 63.41 || blood and pockets ||
 * 5-A || C = 75.47 || H = 6.59 || N = 8.38 || O = 9.57 || blood ||
 * 5-B || C = 37.01 || H = 2.20 || N = 18.50 || O = 42.27 || luggage ||
 * 6 || C = 57.14 || H = 6.12 || N = 9.52 || O = 27.20 || briefcase ||
 * 7-A || C = 81.60 || H = 7.54 || N = 9.52 || O = 2.72 || briefcase ||
 * 7-B || C = 81.58 || H = 8.84 || N = 9.52 ||  || luggage ||
 * 8-A || C = 60.00 || H = 4.44 ||  || O = 35.53 || pocket and briefcase ||
 * 8-B || C = 63.36 || H = 5.94 || N = 9.24 || O = 21.12 || pocket and briefcase ||

**3) Take your samples and calculate the empirical formula by filling out the form below. (must be turned in with all work)** See Sample below it.

 * For example, when the %C=67.31, %H=7, %N=4.62, and %O=21.1, do the following:**

**5) Determine the name of the compound by referring to the chart below. Fill in the suspect chart with this information**

 * **Compounds And Their Uses** ||
 * **Formula** || **Name** || **Uses** ||
 * C 18 H 21 NO 3 || Codeine || prescription painkiller ||
 * C 17 H 21 NO 4 || Cocaine || illegal narcotic ||
 * C 9 H 8 O 4 || Aspirin || nonprescription painkiller ||
 * C 14 H 18 N 2 O 5 || Aspartame || artificial sweetener ||
 * C 8 H 8 O 3 || Vanilla || flavoring ||
 * C 7 H 5 N 3 O 6 || Trinitrotoluene || explosive (TNT) ||
 * C 3 H 5 N 3 O 9 || Nitroglycerine || heart medication ||
 * C 40 H 44 N 4 O || Curare || poison ||
 * C 7 H 8 N 4 O 2 || Theobromine || compound found in chocolate ||
 * C 21 H 22 N 2 O 2 || Strychnine || poison ||
 * C 10 H 13 N || Dimetachrine || prescription antidepressant ||
 * C 8 H 9 NO 2 || Acetaminophen || nonprescription painkiller (Tylenol) ||

**6) Determine the name of each victim by looking at what was found on them and comparing that to their** des**criptions below. Fill in the suspect chart with this information**

 * **Personal Data:** ||
 * **__Name__** || **__Profile__** ||
 * Amedeo Gadro || Has a heart condition ||
 * Marie Curry || Often gets severe headaches ||
 * Robby Boile || Baker ||
 * Freddy Wholler || Drinks at least four sugar-free (diet) drinks a day ||

 * Theo Paracelsus || Suspected drug dealer ||
 * Svante Arrhenius || Suspected terrorist ||

**7) Write a 1/2 page story which includes: (btw, there is no wrong answer)**
**8) A complete project will include the following stapled together and turned in:**
 * **Why the plane crashed**
 * **Who was dead on the plane before it crashed**
 * **For extra credit - Draw a picture that shows what happened, and color it.**
 * **A fully filled out suspect chart with everyones name on it**
 * **The math work that shows each person contributed at least two problems with only the name of the person who did the work on it**
 * **A 1/2 page story**
