Question:

Consider the following properties of the atmosphere of the planet Mars at a particular measurement point on the surface, as measured by the Mars Rover:

Average surface pressure: 6.1 mbar

Average temperature: 210 K

Atmospheric gas composition (by volume): carbon dioxide

(CO2) 95.32%; nitrogen (N2) 2.7%; argon (Ar) 1.6%; oxygen (O2) 0.13%; carbon monoxide (CO) 0.08%.

a. What is the partial pressure of CO2 in the Martian atmosphere, pA, in units of Pa?

b. What is the molar concentration of CO2 in the Martian atmosphere, cA?

c. What is the total molar concentration of all gases in the Martian atmosphere?
