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.

the force between the electron and the proton.
a) Use F = k * q1 * q2 / d² 
where k = 8.99e9 N·m²/C² 
and q1 = -1.602e-19 C (electron) 
and q2 = 1.602e-19 C (proton) 
and d = distance between point charges = 0.53e-10 m 
The negative result indicates "attraction".

b) Here, just use F = ma 
where F was found above, and 
m = mass of electron = 9.11e-31kg, if memory serves 
a = radial acceleration

How many moles are in 9.50 x 1022 molecules of CO? Be sure to ALL work below and report your answer using the correct number of
eimsori [14]

Answer:

0.158 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO

We are required to determine the number of moles;

We need to know;

1 mole of a compound = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

9.50 x 10^22 molecules of CO will be equivalent to;

= 9.50 x 10^22 molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole

= 0.158 moles

Therefore, the number of moles are 0.158 moles
