Even though we have known of many nuclear energy technologies for about one century some of these technologies have not yet been

fully developed. Obtaining energy from thorium remains a challenge for many reasons. In a reactor, thorium is bombarded with neutrons and becomes U-233 and then U-234, which can undergo fission and produce energy. Complete the following U-234 fission reaction. Hint: Do not ignore the amount of energy given off by the reaction! 234.0 tlu . i37 154Xe + 3?Sr + 3 1.0087n + 180 MeV

<u>Answer:</u> The nuclear fission reaction of U-234.043 is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

For the given fission reaction:

^{234.043}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{137.159}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+^{A}_{38}\textrm{Sr}+3^{1.0087}_0\textrm{n}+180MeV

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

234.043 = 137.159 + A + 3(1.0087)

A = 93.858

Now, the chemical equation becomes:

^{234.043}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{137.159}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+^{93.858}_{38}\textrm{Sr}+3^{1.0087}_0\textrm{n}+180MeV

Hence, the nuclear fission reaction of U-234.043 is written above.

Which of the following statements about natural resources is correct
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The right choice is "wind power requires a lot of space and depends on local weather patterns "

Explanation:

  1. solar power produces harmful chemicals
  • it is incorrect because solar power doesn't produce any chemicals

    2. geothermal power requires more land than other power plants  

  •   it is incorrect because geothermal power requires digging a stable 5 km-deep shaft not a land

    3. nuclear power produces small amounts of energy from large masses

  • it is incorrect because nuclear power produces large amounts of energy from small masses.

So the right choice is "wind power requires a lot of space and depends on local weather patterns "

A brief explanation to this question: "Why are neon signs/fireworks different colors? Please help me. Do not look up internet
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

when lit, the atoms of different chemical compounds inside the firework absorb energy, when the electrons fall back to lower energy levels, they give off colored light. Depending upon the chemical used, different colors are produced. neon lights or signs are glass tubes filled with neon gas. When the light is plugged in, the electrical energy causes the electrons of neon to jump to higher energy levels, when they go to lower levels, colored light is given off. The neat thing is that the neon never gets used up. The only thing that gets used up is the electricity. The electrons don't get destroyed and can be used over and over again jumping levels. Neon glows with an orange light, but you know that neon signs can be lots of different colors. The variations come when different gases other than neon are used such as argon, or krypton or when the tube is painted so that with the light produced it produces a certain color.
