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.

Determine the rate law, including the values of the orders and rate law constant, for the following reaction using the experimen
olga55 [171]

Answer: Rate law=k[A]^1[B]^2, order with respect to A is 1, order with respect to B is 2 and total order is 3. Rate law constant is 3L^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}

Explanation: Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

Rate=k[A]^x[B]^y

k= rate constant

x = order with respect to A

y = order with respect to A

n = x+y = Total order

a) From trial 1: 1.2\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.20]^y    (1)

From trial 2: 4.8\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y    (2)

Dividing 2 by 1 :\frac{4.8\times 10^{-2}}{1.2\times 10^{-2}}=\frac{k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y}{k[0.10]^x[0.20]^y}

4=2^y,2^2=2^y therefore y=2.

b) From trial 2: 4.8\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y    (3)

From trial 3: 9.6\times 10^{-2}=k[0.20]^x[0.40]^y   (4)

Dividing 4 by 3:\frac{9.6\times 10^{-2}}{4.8\times 10^{-2}}=\frac{k[0.20]^x[0.40]^y}{k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y}

2=2^x,2=2^1, x=1

Thus rate law is Rate=k[A]^1[B]^2

Thus order with respect to A is 1 , order with respect to B is 2 and total order is 1+2=3.

c) For calculating k:

Using trial 1:  1.2\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^1[0.20]^2

k=3 L^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}.

If you add the same amount of heat to two different substances, will they both change phase?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

It depends on their melting and/or their boiling points, because the heat provides the particles with kinetic energy to break the electrosatic bonds in the substances, which can differ in strength

Which electron transition represents a gain of energy?
xz_007 [3.2K]

The correct answer is (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell.


The explanation :


when a gain of energy is the shift of the electrons from a shell of low energy to the shell of high energy


and we have here 2nd shell is the shell of low energy, and 3rd shell is the shell of high energy.


∴ (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell is the correct answer.
