Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas when it diffuses into the earth atmosphere. Given that at 273 K and 1 atm, the value of D for CO2 (Dco2) is 1.00 x 10-5 m2 s-1, calculate the collisional cross-section of the gas. Under the same T and P, the DN2 value of nitrogen gas is three-fold greater than the value of Dco2. Calculate the value of o for N2.

Experimental data shows that the atmosphere of planet X is composed of pure carbon dioxide, with the pressure on ground level being 700 Pa. The temperature of the atmosphere is also found to decrease linearly with elevation, such that the temperature drops 10 degrees Celsius for every 5m elevation. With the help of the data and equations below, estimate the pressure 50m above ground level. Assume that the temperature at the surface of Planet X is (-60) degrees Celsius. dp/p + gM/RT(dZ) = 0 for planet B, g =5.2m/s^2 N2 = 28 g/mol

A manometer was connected to a bulb containing nitrogen under slight pressure. The gas was allowed to escape through a small pinhole, and the time for the manometer reading to drop from 65.1 cm to 42.1 cm was 18.5 s. When the experiment was repeated using a fluorocarbon gas, the same fall took place in 82.3 s. Calculate the molar mass of the fluorocarbon.
