Answer:

B) 85

Explanation:

In the nuclear fission of uranium-235, a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a slow-moving neutron and then decays into a nucleus of Kripton-92, a nucleus of Barium-141 (which is the missing nucleus in the figure) and three more neutrons.

Knowing that:

- Uranium has atomic number 92, so it has 92 protons

- Kripton has atomic number 36, so it has 36 protons

- Barium has atomic number 56, so it has 56 protons

We can calculate the number of neutrons in the nucleus of barium, since we know that the total number of neutrons must be conserved. We have:

- On the left side of the reaction: (235-92) neutrons of the uranium + 1 neutron absorbed = 144 neutrons

- On the right side of the reaction: (92-36) neutrons of the krypton + X neutrons of the barium + 3 neutrons = 144

So we get:

56 + X + 3 = 144

X = 85

So, the nucleus of barium has 85 neutrons.

A negatively charged balloon has 4 μC of charge. How many excess electrons are on this bal- loon? The elemental charge is 1.6 ×

bagirrra123 [75]

Data:

The charge of a body depends on the amount of electrons it gains or loses. Q = n * e, where "Q" is charge, "n" is the number of plus or minus electrons, and "e" is the fundamental charge of an electron $1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C$ . To know if the body has gained or lost, we look at the signal of its charge, remembering that the electron is negative. The charge of the body is 4 μC (positive), so there is a lack of electrons!

Q = 4 μC → $Q = 4*10^{-6}$
$e = 1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C$
$n = ?$ 

We have:
 $Q = n*e$
$n = \frac{Q}{e}$
$n = \frac{4*10^{-6}}{1,6 * 10 ^{-19}}$
$n = 2,5*10^{-6-(-19)}$
$n = 2,5*10^{-6+19}$
$\boxed{n = 2,5*10^{13}electrons}$

Which is an example of a monthly fixed cost for a sandwich shop?

aivan3 [116]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The rent is an example of a monthly fixed cost for a sandwich shop. It is a fixed cost since you are required to pay for it per month. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
