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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

Calculate the concentration of an aqueous solution of naoh that has a ph of 11.50
Reika [66]
NaOH is a strong base and complete dissociation into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions. 
Therefore [NaOH] = [OH⁻]
To calculate the [OH⁻], we can first find the pOH as NaOH is a basic solution.
pH + pOH = 14
Since pH = 11.50
pOH = 14 - 11.50
pOH = 2.50
We can calculate [OH⁻] by knowing pOH 
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M
therefore [NaOH] = 3.2 x 10⁻³ M

OLga [1]

Answer:

0.962 atm.

97.4 kPa.

731 torr.

14.1 psi.

97,434.6 Pa.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the available factors equaling 1 atm of pressure, each required pressure turns out:

- Atmospheres: 1 atm = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{1atm}{760mmHg} =0.962atm

- Kilopascals:: 101.3 kPa = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{101.3kPa}{760mmHg} =97.4kPa

- Torrs: 760 torr = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{760 torr}{760mmHg} =731 torr

- Pounds per square inch: 14.69 psi = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{14.69}{760mmHg} =14.1psi

- Pascals: 101300 Pa = 760 mmHg:

p=731mmHg*\frac{101300Pa}{760mmHg} \\\\p=97,434.6Pa

Best regards.

Which of the following contains a nonpolar covalent bond? O2 CO NaCI HF
jasenka [17]

Answer: The nonpolar covalent bond happens in an O₂ molecule.

Explanation: Nonpolar bonds happen where there's no difference between the polarity of the atoms involved. This usually happens when the same atoms bond to each other, which explains why the O₂ molecule is the one who has this bond.
