2. Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, has a very strong rotten egg odor. Methyl salicylate, C8H8O3, has a wintergreen odor,
and benzaldehyde, C7H6O, has a pleasant almond odor. If the vapors for these three substances were
released at the same time from across a room, which odor would you smell first? Show your work and
explain your answer.
3. A nitrogen molecule travels at about 505 m/s at room temperature. Find the velocity of a helium atom at the
same temperature.
4. A carbon dioxide molecule travels at 45.0 m/s at a certain temperature. At the same temperature, find the
velocity of an oxygen molecule.
5. Nitrogen gas effuses through an opening 1.59 times faster than does an unknown gas.
a. Calculate the molecular mass of the unknown gas.

All substances have the same kinetic energy (all are at the same temperature).
Therefore, the lightest molecules will move fastest.
