Answer: 2 (2 neutrons are produced).

Explanation:

1) In the left side of the transmutation equationa appears:
²³⁵U + ¹n →

I am omitting the atomic number (subscript to the leff) because the question does not show them as it is focused on number of neutrons.


2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:

→ ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + ?

3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236

4) The total mass number of Ce and Sr on the right side is 144 + 90 = 234

5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 234 = 2 unit masses on the right side which are the 2 neutrons that are produced along with the Ce and Sr.

The complete final equation is:

²³⁵U + ¹n → ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + 2 ¹n

Where you have the two neutrons produced.

3. How did organizing the periodic table by atomic number help scientists?
forsale [732]
Scientists developed symbols and gave the elements numbers to help organize the elements by their chemical properties. The periodic table helps identify the underlying chemical and physical traits of the elements.

A 0.5 kg ball rolls down a frictionless inclined plane. The height of the inclined plane is 0.5m. What is the kinetic energy of
joja [24]

Answer:

2.45Joules

Explanation:

since kinetic energy is K.E.=1/2mv^{2}

lost in potential energy is gain of kinetic energy

mgh=1/2mv^2

9.8*2*0.5=v^2

v^{2}=9.8

v=\sqrt{9.8} =3.13m/s

now k.e. = 0.5*m*v^{2} =0.5*0.5*9.8 =2.45J
