One way to represent an oxygen molecule is with a sketch like the one below. The black arrow represents the average molecular speed at room temperature of 480 meters per second (m/s). That unit of speed might be difficult to relate to. You decide to convert it to miles per hour. Which of the following choices shows how to convert this speed to miles per hour? 480m/s(m/1609 miles)(3600s/1hr) = 1074 m²/miles x hr none of these conversions are correct 480m/s(miles/1609m)(3600s/1hr)= 1074miles/hr 480m/s(miles/1609m)(3600s/1hr) = 960miles/hr
