Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.140QP
Sulfur-containing compounds give skunks their potent smell. One of the principal smelly compounds in skunk spray is (E)-2-butene-1-thiol, C4H7S.
- a What is the root-mean-square (rms) molecular speed of a gas molecule of this compound at 25°C?
- b Using the value from part a, calculate how long it would take a molecule of C4H7S to reach your nose if you were 150 m from the skunk.
- c Does the calculation that you performed in part b provide an accurate estimate for the length of time it would take for the molecule to travel 150 m, or is there something that was overlooked in performing the calculation?
