Answer:

Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U plus superscript 1 subscript 0 n right arrow superscript 140 subscript 55 upper C s plus superscript 94 subscript 37 upper R b plus 2 superscript 1 subscript 0 n

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei). The fission process often produces free neutrons and releases a large amount of energy,for example, uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. The fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction, and huge amounts of energy are released in the process.

If we look at the equation given in the answer, we will notice that a uranium-235 nucleus was bombarded with neutrons and it split into caesium-140, Rubidium-94 and more neutrons. This process takes place in nuclear reactors and is a self-sustaining process. It is self sustaining be cause more neutrons are produced, thereby continuing the fission reaction.

The density of water at 30.0 °C is 0.9956 g/mL. If the specific gravity of acetic acid is 1.040 at 30.0 °C, what is the density
mash [69]

Answer:

The density of acetic acid at 30°C = 1.0354_g/mL

Explanation:

specific gravity of acetic acid = (Density of acetic acid at 30°C) ÷ (Density of water at 30°C)

Therefore, the density of acetic acid at 30°C = (Density of water at 30°C) × (Specific gravity of acetic acid at 30°C)

= 0.9956 g/mL × 1.040

= 1.0354_g/mL

Specific gravity, which is also known as relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a specified standard substance.

Generally the standard substance of to which other solid and liquid substances are compared is water which has a density of 1.0 kg per litre or 62.4 pounds/cubic foot at 4 °C (39.2 °F) while gases are normally compared with dry air, with a density of 1.29 grams/litre or 1.29 ounces/cubic foot under standard conditions of a temperature of 0 °C and one standard atmospheric pressure

Label A is showing___ frequency waves, and label B is showing ___ frequency waves
igomit [66]

It's not really possible to tell longitudinal vs. transverse in this image as given. However, we can say that the waves labeled A are high-frequency (short wavelengths) while the waves labeled B are low-frequency (long wavelengths). So, this third answer choice would be correct here.
