Part complete When a 235 92U nucleus is bombarded by neutrons (10n) it undergoes a fission reaction, resulting in the formation

of two new nuclei and neutrons. The following equation is an example of one such fission process: 235 92U+10n→AZBa+9436Kr+310n
Enter the isotope symbol for the barium (Ba) nucleus in this reaction.In another process in which 235 92U undergoes neutron bombardment, the following reaction occurs:235 92U+10n --> AZSr+143 54Xe+310nEnter the isotope symbol for the strontium (Sr) nucleus in this reaction.

<u>Answer:</u> The isotopic symbol of barium is _{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba} and that of strontium is _{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier nuclei breaks down in two or more smaller nuclei.

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

  • For the given fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+3^1_0\textrm{n}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 3

A = 139

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = Z + 36 + 0

Z = 56

The isotopic symbol of barium is _{56}^{139}\textrm{Ba}

  • For the given fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Sr}+^{143}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+3^1_0\textrm{n}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 143 + 3

A = 90

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = Z + 54 + 0

Z = 38

The isotopic symbol of strontium is _{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}

Hence, the isotopic symbol of barium is _{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba} and that of strontium is _{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}

A 825 g iron block is heated to 352 degrees C and is placed in an insulated container (of negligible heat capacity) containing 4
Stella [2.4K]

Answer : The final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of iron =  560 J/(kg.K)

c_1 = specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg.K)

m_1 = mass of iron = 825 g

m_2 = mass of water = 40 g

T_f = final temperature of water and iron = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of iron = 352^oC=273+352=625K

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20^oC=273+20=293K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

(825\times 10^{-3}kg)\times 560J/(kg.K)\times (T_f-625K)=-(40\times 10^{-3}kg)\times 4186J/(kg.K)\times (T_f-293K)

T_f=537.12K

Therefore, the final equilibrium temperature of the water and iron is, 537.12 K

Nitrogen has two isotopes. One has an atomic mass of 14.003
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

d= 14.007 amu

Explanation:

Abundance of N¹⁴ = 99.63%

Abundance of N¹⁵ = 0.37%

Atomic mass of N¹⁴ = 14.003 amu

Atomic mass of N¹⁵ = 15.000 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass = (14.003 × 99.63)+(15.000× 0.37) /100

Average atomic mass =  1395.12 + 5.55 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 1400.67/ 100

Average atomic mass = 14.007 amu.
