The molecular speed of gas is related to the speed of sound, as sound vibrations cannot travel faster than the molecules that cause the pressure waves. If you and your friend were trying to speak to each other, on which planet would you have to stand closer to your friend to have a conversation, Venus or Earth? The predominant gas in Venus and Earth's atmosphere are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrogen (N₂), respectively. Assume that the gases behave ideally and T = 25°C and 462°C for Earth and Venus, respectively.

How do chemists know that none of the individual Lewis structures of ozone are not accurate depictions of an ozone molecule, and how is this discrepancy addressed?
If there are 1.5 x 109 cows each "passing" on the average 240. Liters of CH4 (g) per day, in one day if all of that CH4 were to be safely collected and undergo a controlled but complete combustion reaction, how many grams of CO2 would contribute to the Greenhouse effect of the Earth? You will first need to have the combustion reaction of CH4. Make an assumption that the Temperature of the collected gas is 22.4 L = 1 mol, STP conditions (which it really is not at).
