Pluto's atmosphere. As recently observed by the New Horizons mission, the surface pressure of Pluto is about 11 microbar. The su

rface temperature is about 37 K.
(a) What is the number density (in units of number per cubic centimeter) of molecules at Pluto's surface (Hint: use ideal gas law)? The radius of Pluto is about 1187 km and the surface gravity is about 0.62 m s. What is the total mass of the atmosphere in terms of Kg?

(b) Calculate the saturation vapor pressure (in units of Pa) of ethane at Pluto's surface. The saturated vapor pressure of ethane can be assumed as: log1o(P)-10.01-1085.0/(T-0.561). T is temperature in K and the vapor pressure (P) in units of millimeters of Hg (~133.32 Pa).

(c) If the volume mixing ratio of ethane on Pluto is about 1%, what is mass mixing ratio of ethane (assume the mean molecular weight is 28 g mol')? What is the partial pressure of ethane at the surface? (Hint: should you use volume mixing ratio or mass mixing ratio to calculate the partial pressure? Think about the physical meaning of gas pressure.) Finally, is ethane condensable at Pluto's surface)

Answer:

a) The number density is 3.623 × 10⁻³ \frac{mol}{m^{3} }

The mass of the atmosphere is 1.3 × 10²²Kg

b) The pressure is 10⁻²⁰ Millimeter of mercury

c) The mass mixing ratio is 0.0107

The partial pressure of ethane is 0.01114 Pa

Yes it is condensable because it boiling point is -88.5 C  which is equivalent to 184.5 K i.e is adding 273 to -88.5C and the temperature of the atmosphere  is 37 K.

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.
