Explanation:
235 U92 + 1n0 --> A + B + 3 1n0
when A = ;
(a) xenon-133
Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 133 -3 = 100
Atomic number = 92 - 54 = 38
Element = Sr - Strontium
(b) barium-144
Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 144 -3 = 89
Atomic number = 92 - 56 = 36
Element = Kr - Krypton
(c) cesium-143
Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 143 -3 = 90
Atomic number = 92 - 55 = 37
Element = Rb - Rubidium
(d) tellurium-137
Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 137 -3 = 96
Atomic number = 92 - 52 = 40
Element = Zr - Zirconium
(e) lanthanum-146
Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 146 -3 = 87
Atomic number = 92 - 57 = 35
Element = Br - Bromine
2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Standard cell notation:
Mg(s) | Mg2+ (aq) || Ag+(aq)| Ag(s)
Required
a balanced redox reaction
Solution
At the cathode the reduction reaction occurs, the anode oxidation reaction occurs
In reaction:
Ag⁺ + Mg → Ag + Mg²⁺
half-reactions
- at the cathode (reduction reaction)
Ag⁺ (aq) + e⁻ ---> Ag (s) x2
2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2e⁻ ---> 2Ag (s)
- at the anode (oxidation reaction)
Mg (s) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2e−
a balanced cell reaction
<em>2Ag⁺(aq) + Mg(s)→ 2Ag(s) + Mg²⁺ (aq)
</em>
I think the answer is C, but i'm not completely sure.
I believe the appropriate pair is O and S, Periodic table represents arrangements of elements ordered by their atomic number,physical and chemical properties. Both sulfur and oxygen are in the same group of the periodic table (group 6), they have a valency of 2, This means they have a greater similarity in chemical and physical properties.
