Which of the following are correct statements regarding applications of the gas laws and kinetic-molecular theory to the Earth's atmosphere? a. The gases in the atmosphere behave nearly ideally, so that volume percent equals mole percent.
b. The pressure of the atmosphere increases as altitude decreases, and Avogadro's law states that gases are compressible as pressure increases.
c. Charles's law helps explain air convection patterns in the lower atmosphere.
d. Because of the low density of particles in the thermosphere, the transfer of kinetic energy is very slow and temperatures are very low.

i think it's c. if you look search electronic symbol on google and then click on wiki it shows you a

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
