An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is the nuclear fission reaction given:
- ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n
<h3>What is a nuclear reactor?</h3>
A nuclear reactor is a device which produces electrical energy as a result of the nuclear reactions that take place within it.
In a nuclear reactor, the reaction that takes place within the core is a nuclear fission chain reaction.
In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of larger atoms are split into the nucleus of smaller atoms when fast moving neutrons are used to bombard the nucleus of the large atom. The fission of the nucleus of the large atom results in the formation of atoms of lighter nucleus as well as more protons which then bombard more nucleus of the large atoms resulting in a chain reaction.
The chain reaction occurring within the nuclear reactor core is controlled by the insertion of boron rods which absorbs the excess neutrons produced.
An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is given below:
²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

Answer:
58.0 g of MgO
Explanation:
in a perfect world, 70 g, however we don't live in a perfect world
The equation of reaction
2Mg + O₂ --> 2MgO
first find which element is limiting:
35 g x 1 mol/24.3 g of Mg x 2 mol of MgO/ 2 mole of Mg = 1.44 moles of MgO
35 g x 1 mol/32g of Mg x 2 mol of MgO/ 1 mole of O₂ = 2.1875 moles of MgO
This means Mg is the limiting factor, so you will be using this moles to find grams of MgO
1.44 mols of MgO x 40.3 g of MgO/ 1 mol = 58.0 g of MgO
