A N2 molecule at 20 ⁰C is released at sea level to travel upward. Assuming that the molecule does not collide with other molecules, how far will it travel before coming to rest? Do the same calculation for a He atom. Hint: to calculate the height h, the molecule will travel, equate its kinetic energy with the potential energy it attains at h, which is mgh. Here m is the mass, and g is the gravitational acceleration
Carbon dioxide, which is recognized as the major contributorto global warming as a “greenhouse gas,” is formedwhen fossil fuels are combusted, as in electrical powerplants fueled by coal, oil, or natural gas.

Good Day, Ive already had the first question answered for me. Can you please help me with 1.2 ? 1.1 It is well-known that te emission of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide presents a very grave threat to the environment. Attempts are ongoing to absorb this gas by several means. One such approach involves the use of vegetation, as plants utilize the gas by means of photosynthesis. One such plant , which has shown great promise, is the "Spekboom" It has been estimated that fully-grown Spekboom can absorb 3.8 tonnes of carbon per hectare of plants per year. If the system is fully functional, South Africa can generate 234.5 x 109 kWh of electricity per year. Assume that 1559 pounds of CO2 is emmited per year per Megawatt-hour of electricity generated in the country. Determine, by means of the use of conversion factors, how many square kilometres of Spekboom could theoretically absorb all of this carbon dioxide ? 1.2 Consider the molecule, ClPO2 (The Phosphorus atom is the central…
Assume that a single cylinder of an automobile engine hasa volume of 524 cm3. (a) If the cylinder is full of air at 74 °C and 0.980 atm, how many moles of O2 are present? (Themole fraction of O2 in dry air is 0.2095.) (b) How manygrams of C8H18 could be combusted by this quantity ofO2, assuming complete combustion with formation ofCO2 and H2O?
Freon-12 (CF₂Cl₂), widely used as a refrigerant and aerosolpropellant, is a dangerous air pollutant. In the troposphere, ittraps heat 25 times as effectively as CO₂, and in the stratosphere,it participates in the breakdown of ozone. Freon-12 is preparedindustrially by reaction of gaseous carbon tetrachloride with hy-drogen fluoride. Hydrogen chloride gas also forms. How manygrams of carbon tetrachloride are required for the production of16.0 dm₃ of Freon-12 at 27°C and 1.20 atm?

The thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate can be used to produce oxygen. 2KClO3 --> 2KCl +3O2 What volume of O2 gas at 298 K and 1.0 atm pressure is produced by the decomposition of 7.50 g of KClO3 (FW=122.6)?
When limestone (solid CaCO3) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete — the lime absorbs CO2 from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 550.L and heated to 700.0°C. When the amount of CaCO3 has stopped changing, it is found that 4.14kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant Kp this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 700.0°C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for Kp does not match the accepted value.
