Two industries (A and B) with the same process emit 250 µg/m3 of a certain compound at a gas temperature of 58oC. Taking into account that company (A) is located in a region whose average temperatures are 10oC higher than in the region where industry is located (B), it is expected that in the environment, (taking only the temperature effect) the compound concentration after emission is. ( ) can't say ( ) the same for both industries as they emit at the same temperature ( ) lower for industry A than for industry B ( ) higher for industry A than for industry B
4a Assume that worldwide combustion of fossil fuel accounts for an energy use of 500 x 1015 kJ/year. Also, assume that all fossil fuels can be represented by the formula C3H5 with energy content of 32,500 kJ/kg.Finally, assume that air is 79% N2 and 21% O2 , and has a molecular weight of 29 kg/kmol. i. Estimate the annual release of CO2 to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, in kg/yr ii. If all that CO2 entered the atmosphere (and none was removed), estimate the increase in atmospheric concentration, in ppm by volume. Assume the atmosphere contains 6.7 x 1018 kg of air.
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
When we study photochemical processes in the upper atmosphere, we need to know how frequently atoms and molecules collide. At an altitude of 20 km, T = 217 K and PN2 = 0.050 atm (for this problem, assume only nitrogen molecules are present). What is the mean free path of N2 at an altitude of km? ( = 0.43 nm2) How many collisions per second does a N2 molecule make at an altitude of 20 km? What is the collision density, Z, under these conditions?
The best laboratory vacuum pump can generate a vacuum of about 1 nTorr. At 25 °C and assuming that air consists of N2 molecules with a collision diameter of 395 pm, calculate at this pressure (i) the mean speed of the molecules, (ii) the mean free path, (iii) the collision frequency in the gas.
This is the expression valid for van der Waals gases. Calculate the final temperature if the Joule’sfree expansion experiment was carried out to double the volume of 10 mL gas at 25 °C with a) Heb) CO2 molecules.

Calculate the mean free path for a nitrogen molecule at 298 K and 1 atm. Now imagine that at an altitude of 150 km, the pressure is about 2 x 10-6 torr and the temperature is about 500K. Assume that the air is only consist of nitrogen molecules, calculate the mean free path under these conditions
