Huida de hidrógeno desde Venus
Resumen
La recombinación de iones de oxígeno en la exosfera de Venus crea átomos de oxígeno rápidos, impulsando el escape de hidrógeno. Este proceso aumenta la proporción de deuterio a hidrógeno con el tiempo, lo que sugiere una abundancia significativa de agua en el pasado.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias planetarias Ciencias planetarias.
- Química de la atmósfera química de la atmósfera
- Dinámica de la exosfera Dinámica de la exosfera Dinámica de la exosfera
Sus antecedentes:
- La recombinación de los iones O(2)(+) es un proceso clave en la atmósfera superior de Venus.
- Este proceso genera rápidos átomos de oxígeno que pueden interactuar con otros componentes atmosféricos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el papel de la recombinación O(2)(+) en el escape de hidrógeno de Venus.
- Analizar las implicaciones para la relación deuterio-hidrógeno y la abundancia de agua en el pasado.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de los mecanismos de escape atmosféricos.
- Modelado de reacciones iónico-moleculares y colisiones atómicas en la exosfera.
- Interpretación de los datos de las misiones espaciales como Pioneer Venus.
Principales resultados:
- La recombinación de O(2)(+) conduce al escape de aproximadamente 10(7) átomos de hidrógeno/cm2/s.
- La fuga de deuterio es insignificante, haciendo que la relación D/H aumente con el tiempo.
- El ión masa-2 observado por Pioneer Venus es probablemente D(+), lo que indica una relación D/H contemporánea de ~10(-2).
Conclusiones:
- La alta relación D/H contemporánea implica una relación inicial de 5 x 10 (−5).
- Esto sugiere una abundancia original de agua (H2O) de al menos 800 g/cm2 en la atmósfera temprana de Venus.

Escape Velocities of Gases
To escape the Earth's gravity, an object near the top of the atmosphere at an altitude of 100 km must travel away from Earth at 11.1 km/s. This speed is called the escape velocity. The temperature at which gas molecules attain the rms speed, which is equal to the escape velocity, can be estimated by using the equation for the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules. According to the kinetic theory of gas, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to its temperature.
Hess's Law
There are two ways to determine the amount of heat involved in a chemical change: measure it experimentally, or calculate it from other experimentally determined enthalpy changes. Some reactions are difficult, if not impossible, to investigate and make accurate measurements for experimentally. And even when a reaction is not hard to perform or measure, it is convenient to be able to determine the heat involved in a reaction without having to perform an experiment.
Hydrogen Bonds
Hydrogen BondsHydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are...
Hydrogen Bonds
A hydrogen bond is formed when a weakly positive hydrogen atom already bonded to one electronegative atom (for example, the oxygen in the water molecule) is attracted to another electronegative atom from another polar molecule, such as water (H2O), hydrogen fluoride (HF), or ammonia (NH3). The huge electronegativity difference between the H atom (2.1) and the atom to which it is bonded (4.0 for an F atom, 3.5 for an O atom, or 3.0 for an N atom), combined with the very small size of an H atom...
Escape Velocity
The escape velocity of an object is defined as the minimum initial velocity that it requires to escape the surface of another object to which it is gravitationally bound and never to return. For example, what would be the minimum velocity at which a satellite should be launched from the Earth's surface such that it just escapes the Earth's gravitational field?
To calculate the escape velocity, it is assumed that no energy is lost to any frictional forces. In practice, a satellite launched from...

Emission Spectra
When solids, liquids, or condensed gases are heated sufficiently, they radiate some of the excess energy as light. Photons produced in this manner have a range of energies, and thereby produce a continuous spectrum in which an unbroken series of wavelengths is present.
