What is the root-mean-square molecular speed of a gas

Reference no: EM13163419

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 molecular speed of a gas molecule of this smelly gas molecule at 25C?

b)using the value determined in part a, calculate how long it would take a molecule of C4H7S to reach your nose if you were 150m from the skunk.

c)does the calculation in part b provide an accurate estimate for the length of time it would take for the molecule to travel 150m? Explain.
