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.

How are animal-like and plant-like protists are similar and different?​
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The main way animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists is in the way they get energy. Animal-like protists are heterotrophs. They have to eat other protists or bacteria in order to get energy, much as animals have to eat plants or other animals to get their energy. Plant-like protists, on the other hand, are autotrophs. They can make their own energy from the sun or other sources just as plants can.

Plz help! The best answer will be marked as brainliest!
Anika [276]

Answer:

This is hilarious, every time I ignite, they feed me water, little do they know this heat will defeat, and hydrogen only makes me stronger!

Explanation:

When Hg is burning, it uses the oxygen from H2O and turns it into hydrogen gas, and that contributes to the burning.

The H 2 produced in a chemical reaction is collected through water in a eudiometer. If the pressure in the eudiometer is 760.0 t
siniylev [52]

Answer:

the pressure (torr) of theH₂ gas is 736.2 torr

Explanation:

Given that

The H₂ gas  produced in a chemical reaction is collected through water in a eudiometer; during this process, the gas collected contains some droplets of water vapor along with these gas.

So; the total pressure in the eudiometer = Pressure in the H₂ gas  - Pressure of the water vapor

Where;

P_{Totsl} =  total pressure in the eudiometer = 760.0 torr

P_{H_2} = Pressure in the H₂ gas  = ???

P_{H_2O} = Pressure in the water vapor  = 23.8 torr

Now:

P_{Totsl} = P_{H_2} + P_{H_2O}

- P_{H_2} = + P_{H_2O} - P_{Totsl}

P_{H_2}  = - P_{H_2O} + P_{Totsl}

P_{H_2}  =  (- 23.8 + 760) torr

P_{H_2}  = 736.2 torr

Thus; the pressure (torr) of theH₂ gas is 736.2 torr
