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

Chemistry

Xelga [282]4 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.

Sulfur dioxide, SO 2 ( g ) , can react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, SO 3 ( g ) , by the reaction 2 SO 2 ( g ) + O 2 (
Alex

Answer:

ΔHorxn = - 11.79 KJ

Explanation:

2 SO 2 ( g ) + O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 SO 3 ( g )

The standard enthalpies of formation for SO 2 ( g ) and SO 3 ( g ) are Δ H ∘ f [ SO 2 ( g ) ] = − 296.8 kJ / mol Δ H ∘ f [ SO 3 ( g ) ] = − 395.7 kJ / mol

From the reaction above, 2 mol of SO2 reacts to produce 2 mol of SO3. Assuming ideal gas behaviour,

1 mol = 22.4l

x mol = 2.67l

Upon cross multiplication and solving for x;

x = 2.67 / 22.4 = 0.1192 mol

0.1192 mol of SO2 would react to produce 0.1192 mol of SO3.

Amount of heat is given as;

ΔHorxn = ∑mΔHof(products) − ∑nΔHof(reactants)

Because O2(g) is a pure element in its standard state, ΔHοf [O2(g)] = 0 kJ/mol.

ΔHorxn = 0.1192 mol * (− 395.7 kJ / mol) - 0.1192 mol * ( − 296.8 kJ / mol)

ΔHorxn = - 47.17kj + 35.38kj

ΔHorxn = - 11.79 KJ
