sulfur

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an industrially produced greenhouse gas.
Please answer the following about the properties of SF6.
(a) What is the atomic weight of SF6?
(b) From our discussion of kinetic theory last week, how would you
expect the mean speed of SF6 molecules at a given temperature to
compare to the mean speed of the most common gases comprising dry
air?
(c) What is the value of the gas constant for SF6?
(d) One can define an analogue to virtual temperature for a mixture of
dry air + SF6 for which Tv(SF6) ≤ T rather than Tv > Tas for water
vapor. Why is this the case?
