An oxygen molecule is moving near the earth's surface. Another oxygen molecule is moving in the ionosphere (the uppermost part of the earth's atmosphere) where the Kelvin temperature is 3.06 times greater. Determine the ratio of the translational rms speed in the ionosphere to that near the earth's surface.

Diatomic Gas

Molecule, is a collection of two or more atoms together (which constitute the smallest observable unit) into a pure material. There are some ways to represent the structure of a molecule. Factor symbols represent atoms in Lewis structures, and dots represent electrons that accompany them. A pair of mutual electrons (covalent bond) may be represented by a single dash. The ball-and-stick model depicts the spatial structure of the atoms better.

At the end of a warm autumn day, you measure the air pressure in your car's tires and write down their pressure as 2.41 × 105 Pa (about 35 psi) when the outside temperature is 23°C. It cools down quite a bit overnight to -5°C. If you were to measure the air pressure in the tire on that cool morning, what pressure would you measure? Assume that you can ignore the change in the volume of the tire and that no air is released from the tire overnight.
