In this nuclear reaction, a neutron is used to catalyze the decay of U-235. Four products were produced: Ba-139, two neutrons, and an unknown element X.

To calculate this, you must know that what you start with should be what you end with. The reaction occurred with 236 atomic mass units (U-235 and one neutron), so the final products should add up to 236.

Taking away Barium and the two neutrons:
236-141 = 95.
Now, we know that the element will have an overall mass of 95.

The number of protons should have stayed the same through the reaction as well, since the element didn’t undergo Beta or Positron decay. Starting with 92 protons (92 U), and subtracting the 56 contained in the Barium atom, the final number is 36 protons - the atomic number for Krypton.

Element X is Kr-95.

Given the equation representing a solution equilibrium: BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq)

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases

Explanation:

Whenever a solution of an ionic substance comes into contact with another ionic compound with which it shares a common ion, the solubility of the ionic substance in solution decreases significantly.

In this case, both BaSO4 and Na2SO4 both possess the SO4^2- anion. Hence SO4^2- anion is the common ion. Given the equilibrium;

BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq), addition of Na2SO4 will decrease the solubility of BaSO4 due to the presence of a common SO4^2- anion compared to pure water.

This implies that the equilibrium will shift to the left, (more undissoctiated BaSO4) hence decreasing the Ba^2+(aq) concentration.

All organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen. what parts of an organic molecule may contain oxygen, nitrogen, or phosphorus

Minchanka [31]

Answer is: functional groups.
Functional groups are specific groups that are responsible for the characteristic chemical properties of molecule.
Proteins have nitrogen and oxygen in functional group.
Nucleic acids and some lipids have phosphorus in fuctional group.
Carbohydrates have oxygen in functional group for example.

Vanadium (II) oxide with Iron (III) oxide results in Vanadium (V) oxide and Iron (II) oxide. Balance this equation

evablogger [386]

Answer:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Explanation:

The skeletal equation for the reaction is given below below:

VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

We can balance the equation above by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of V on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of VO as shown below:

2VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

Now, we have a total of 5 atoms of O on the left and 6 atoms on the right side. We can balance it by putting 3 in front of Fe2O3 and 6 in front of FeO as shown below:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced

What is the chemical equation from table salt made from baking soda

bagirrra123 [75]

NaHCO₃ + HCl → NaCl + H₂O + CO₂

Explanation:

NaHCO₃ + HCl → NaCl + H₂O + CO₂

When Sodium bi carbonate (NaHCO₃) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), it forms table salt (NaCl), water ( H₂O ) and Carbon di oxide (CO₂) gas is evolved.

Here base reacts with acid to form salt and it is the neutralization reaction.
