*105. Extracting metals from ore. Thomas Sherwood studied the relationship between the concentration of a metal in commercial ore and the price of the metal. The accompanying graph shows the Sherwood plot with the locations of several metals marked. Even though the scales on this graph are not typical, the graph can be read in the same manner as other graphs. Note also that a concentration of 100 is 100%.
a) Use the figure to estimate the price of copper (Cu) and its concentration in commercial ore.
b) Use the figure to estimate the price of a metal that has a concentration of 10^-6 percent in commercials ore.
c) Would the four points shown in the graph lie along a straight line if they were plotted in our usual coordinate system?

106. Recycling metals. The accompanying graph shows the prices of various metals that are being recycled and the minimum concentration in waste required for recycling. The straight line is the line from the figure for Exercise 105. Points above the line correspond to metals for which it is economically feasible to increase recycling efforts.
a) Use the figure to estimate the price of mercury (Hg) and the minimum concentration in waste required for recycling mercury.
b) Use the figure to estimate the price of Silver (Ag) and the minimum concentration in waste required for recycling silver.
