Pluto was ruled not a planet anymore because it is a "dwarf planet"

Apparently, the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) definition of a planet includes that a planet should be part of a body that would orbit the sun.

According to the IAU, there are three criteria's that contribute to a planet being called a planet.

1. It is within orbit around the Sun.

2. It has a sufficient mass to assume a nearly round shape

and 3. It has "cleared the neighborhood" around it's orbit.

Pluto only so happens to meet 2 of these requirements, not including the third option.

Answer:

In august 2006 the international astronomical union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of "Dwarf planet." this means that from now on only the rocky worlds of the inner solar system and the gas giants of the outer system will be designated.

The combustion reaction described in part (b) occurred in a closed room containing 5.56 10g of air

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is given below,

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) ⇒ 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

Provided that such a combustion has a normal enthalpy,

ΔH°rxn = -1270 kJ/mol

That would be 1 mol reacting to release of ethanol,

⇒ -1270 kJ of heat

Now,

0.383 Ethanol mol responds to release or unlock,

Given that :

specific heat c = 1.005 J/(g. °C)

m = 5.56 ×10⁴ g

Using the relation:

q = mcΔT

- 486.34 = 5.56 ×10⁴ × 1.005 × ΔT

ΔT= (486.34 × 1000 )/5.56×10⁴ × 1.005

ΔT= 836.88 °C

ΔT= T₂ - T₁

T₂ = ΔT + T₁

T₂ = 836.88 °C + 21.7°C

T₂ = 858.58 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of the air in the room after combustion is 858.58 °C

An unknown compound with a molar mass of 223.94 g/mol consists of 32.18% c, 4.50% h, and 63.32% cl. find the molecular formula f

Dima020 [189]

The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.

Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)

Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:

Mass of carbon, $C$ :

$\frac{32.18}{100}\times 223.94 = 72.06 g$

Mass of hydrogen, $H$ :

$\frac{4.5}{100}\times 223.94 = 10.08 g$

Mass of chlorine, $Cl$ :

$\frac{63.32}{100}\times 223.94 = 141.79 g$

Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:

$number of moles = \frac{given mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of $C$ :

$number of moles = \frac{72.06}{12} = 6.005 mole\simeq 6 mole$

Number of moles of $H$ :

$number of moles = \frac{10.08}{1} = 10.08 mole\simeq 10 mole$

Number of moles of $Cl$

$number of moles = \frac{141.79}{35.5} = 3.99 mole\simeq 4 mole$

Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:

$C_{\frac{6}{4}}H_{\frac{10}{4}}Cl_{\frac{10}{4}}$

$C_{1.5}H_{2.5}Cl_{1}$

Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:

So, the empirical formula is $C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2}$ .

Empirical mass = $12\times 3+1\times 5+2\times 35.5 = 112 g/mol$

In order to determine the molecular formula:

n = $\frac{molar mass}{empirical mass}$

n = $\frac{223.94}{112} = 1.99 \simeq 2$

So, the molecular formula is:

$2\times C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2} = C_{6}H_{10}Cl_{4}$
