What is the relationship between the Kuiper Belt and the status of Pluto today?

Chemistry

Xelga [282]3 years ago
4 0

Pluto is a dwarf planet, but one of the largest known members, in the Kuiper belt.

The Kuiper Belt extends between 30 AU and 55 AU from the Sun

(1 AU = 1.5 × 10^8 km = distance from Earth to Sun).

Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical. It ranges from 30 AU to 50 AU. When Pluto is closest to the Sun, it is inside the orbit of Neptune (30 AU).

Astronomers class Pluto as a <em>resonant Kuiper belt object</em> (KBO). Because it gets so close to Neptune, its orbit is in <em>resonance</em> with that of Neptune. Pluto makes two orbits for every three of Neptune.

What is the percent yield of O2 if 10.2 g of O2 is produced from the decomposition of 17.0 g of H2O?
yawa3891 [41]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2H2O = 2H2 + O2

<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our starting point.</span>

<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol  H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2 mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09  g x 100</span>

Percent yield = 67.58%
