4. Under STP conditions, compare the relative rates at which Earth's atmospheric gases
diffuse through a common orifice. List them in order of fastest to slowest to diffuse
(WITH numeric proof!)
5. What is the partial pressures of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
6. What does the table of atmospheric gases tell you about the mole fraction of sulfur
hexafluoride in the atmosphere?
7. What is the mole fraction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
(Please use the given table.)
8. We already broke down the sources of anthropogenic CO₂ in class. All SF6 is
anthropogenic. Not all CO₂ and CH4 are anthropogenic. Do you believe human activity
can change the partial pressure of CO₂ enough to make a difference? Why or why not?
9. What are you personally doing for the big beautiful world lately?
