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.

Increasing the amount of water in which the sugar is dissolved will increase the frequency of collisions between the sucrose mol
Sonja [21]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

When we increase the amount of solvent which is water in this case then it means there will occur an increase in the molecules. Hence, there will be more number of collisions to take place with increase in number of molecules.

Therefore, more is the amount of interaction taking place between the molecules of a solution more will be its rate of hydrolysis.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement increasing the amount of water in which the sugar is dissolved will increase the frequency of collisions between the sucrose molecules and the water molecules resulting in an increase in the rate of hydrolysis, is true.
