Describe in your own words the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases tells us that the energy content of any gas is related only to its temperature. It also tells us that it is possible to compute the "RMS" (root mean squared) velocity of any gas molecule if you know its formula weight and its temperature. Using this information describe how you might compute the RMS velocity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere of the planet Venus (T = 820 F), the RMS velocity of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere of Earth (T = 50 F), or the RMS velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars (T = - 80 F).
A flask contains a mixture of neon (Ne), krypton (Kr), and radon (Rn) gases. Compare (a) the average kinetic energies of the three types of atoms and (b) the root-mean-square speeds. (Hint: Appendix D shows the molar mass (in g>mol) of each element under the chemical symbol for that element.)
The atmosphere of Mars is 96% CO2, with a pressure of approximately 6 * 10−3 atm at the surface. Based on measurements taken over a period of several years by the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), the average daytime temperature at the REMS location on Mars is –5.7 °C (22 °F), while the average nighttime temperature is –79 °C (–109 °F). This daily variation in temperature is much larger than what we experience on Earth. What factor plays the largest role in this wide temperature variation, the composition or the density of the atmosphere?

- The bonds that hold the atoms in a molecule together behave like simple springs. As a result, atmospheric molecules oscillate at frequencies similar to that of infrared radiation, so that these molecules can both absorb and emit infrared radiation (i.e., resonance).

- 2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) .
