Pressure on Venus. At the surface of Venus the aver-age

Chapter 18, Problem 60P

(choose chapter or problem)

Pressure on Venus. At the surface of Venus the aver-age temperature is a balmy 460o C due to the greenhouse effect (global warming!), the pressure is 92 earth-atmospheres, and the acceleration due to gravity is 0.894 gearth. The atmosphere is nearly all CO2 (molar mass 44.0 g/mol), and the temperature remains remarkably constant. Assume that the temperature does not change with altitude. (a) What is the atmospheric pressure 1.00 km above the surface of Venus? Express your answer in Venus-atmospheres and earth-atmospheres. (b) What is the root-mean-square speed of the CO2 molecules at the surface of Venus and at an altitude of 1.00 km?
