If U-235 decays into Cs-135 and 4 neutrons, what other nuclide will be produced?

1 answer:

5 0

If U-235 decays into Cs-135 and 4 neutrons, the other nuclide that will be produced is Rb-96 (option D).

<h3>What is radioactive decay?</h3>

A radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable large nuclei emit subatomic particles and disintegrate into one or more smaller nuclei.

According to this question, a radioactive material Uranium- 235 undergoes radioactive decay into Cs- 135 and 4 neutrons (1/0n).

This means that the mass of the products we have is 135 + 4 = 139.

The mass of the nuclide left must be 235 - 139 = 96, hence, the other nuclide that will be produced is Rb-96.

II. 2I- --> I2 + 2e-

Au3+ + 3e- --> Au. ×2

2I- --> I2 + 2e- ×3

2Au3+ + 6e- --> 2Au

6I- --> 3I2 + 6e-

Overall equation

A monoprotic weak acid, HA , dissociates in water according to the reaction HA(aq)↽−−⇀H+(aq)+A−(aq) The equilibrium concentratio

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$pK_{a}$ of HA is 6.80

Explanation:

$pK_{a}=-logK_{a}$

Acid dissociation constant ( $K_{a}$ ) of HA is represented as-

$K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

Where species inside third bracket represents equilibrium concentrations

Now, plug in all the given equilibrium concentration into above equation-

$K_{a}=\frac{(2.00\times 10^{-4})\times (2.00\times 10^{-4})}{0.250}$

So, $K_{a}=1.6\times 10^{-7}$

Hence $pK_{a}=-log(1.6\times 10^{-7})=6.80$

Two plates slide past each other in opposite directions at a ____ boundary.

Kitty [74]

Answer: plate

Explanation: Plates grinding past each other in opposite directions create faults called transform faults. Powerful earthquakes often strike along these boundaries. The San Andreas Fault is a transform plate boundary that separates the North American Plate from the Pacific Plate.
