Pls help ASAP. Pls circle the final answer and place give proper units and decimals. 

If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest?
Give your answer in kilometers. [Hint: When the molecule comes to rest, the potential energy of the molecule will be m.g. h,
where m is the molecular mass in kilograms, g =9.81m · s2 is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height, in meters,
above Earth's surface.]
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
