Atmospheric Mass
Venus and Earth have about the same mass and radius, but the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is measured to be 90 times larger than the pressure at the surface of the Earth.
(a) Assuming Venus' atmosphere is pure CO2 and Earth's atmosphere is pure N2, estimate the atmospheric scale height for each planet. For simplicity you can assume that both atmospheres are isothermal with T = 550 K for Venus and T = 250 K for Earth.

At the surface of Venus the average temperature is a balmy 460 ∘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 44.0g/mol) and the temperature remains remarkably constant. We shall assume that the temperature does not change at all with altitude. Part A What is the atmospheric pressure 2.00 km above the surface of Venus? Express your answer in...

The air on Venus is composed, roughly, of 95% CO2 and 5% N2 by mass. Furthermore, the surface pressure on Venus is 92,000 mb and the surface temperature is a whopping 467 C. (a) Assuming that the percentages of CO2 and N2 are constant in Venus' atmosphere, what is the specific gas constant (in mass units) for Venus? (b) What is the density of air at Venus' surface and how many molecules occupy 1 cm^3? (c) Compare these values to...

Enter your answer in the provided box. Although the planet Venus is similar in size and composition to Earth, the carbon dioxide atmosphere at its surface is not conducive to life. The average temperature is about 740 K, and the atmospheric pressure is extremely high. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 atm, calculate the mass of atmospheric gas (assume it all to be carbon dioxide) in 2.7 L.
