Solution: Planetary Atmospheres. (a) Calculate the density

Chapter 18, Problem 18.5

(choose chapter or problem)

Planetary Atmospheres. (a) Calculate the density of the atmosphere at the surface of Mars (where the pressure is 650 Pa and the temperature is typically 253 K, with a \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) atmosphere), Venus (with an average temperature of 730 K and pressure of 92 atm, with a \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) atmosphere), and Saturn’s moon Titan (where the pressure is 1.5 atm and the temperature is \(-178^\circ \mathrm{C}\), with a \(\mathrm N_2\) atmosphere). (b) Compare each of these densities with that of the earth’s atmosphere, which is \(1.20 \ \mathrm {kg/m}^3\) . Consult Appendix D to determine molar masses.
