Answer: a) ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n

b) ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into small nuclei along with release of energy.

a) The given reaction is ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + x^{1}_{0}n

Now,  as the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:

235+1=87+146+x

x=3

Thus three neutrons are produced and nuclear equation will be: ^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^{1}_{0}\textrm{n} \rightarrow ^{87}_{35}\textrm {Br}+ ^{146}_{57}\La + 3^{1}_{0}n

b) For the another fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{A}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{Z}\textrm{X}+2^1_0\textrm{n}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 2

A = 140

To calculate Z:

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

92 + 0 = 56 + Z + 0

Z = 36

As Krypton has atomic number of 36,Thus the nuclear equation will be :

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^{140}_{56}\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+2^1_0\textrm{n}
