Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:
</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq)
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.
This is a neutron induced fission, therefore a neutron will be added to the U²³⁵ to cause the reaction, and thus it will be added to the left side. There will be unknown number of neutrons produced and thus we put this on the right hand side.
n₁ + U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr ⁹⁷ + xn1 ( n1 to mean a neutron of mass 1)
To balance the masses on both sides of the equation;
1 + 235 = 137 +97+ x
x = 2
the end reaction will be
n₁ +U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr⁹⁷ + 2 n₁

Answer:
E) 2.38
Explanation:
The pH of any solution , helps to determine the acidic strength of the solution ,
i.e. ,
- Lower the value of pH , higher is its acidic strength
and ,
- Higher the value of pH , lower is its acidic strength .
pH is given as the negative log of the concentration of H⁺ ions ,
hence ,
pH = - log H⁺
From the question ,
the concentration of the solution is 0.0042 M , and being it a strong acid , dissociates completely to its respective ions ,
Therefore , the concentration of H⁺ = 0.0042 M .
Hence , using the above equation , the value of pH can be calculated as follows -
pH = - log H⁺
pH = - log ( 0.0042 M )
pH = 2.38 .
