This is a neutron induced fission, therefore a neutron will be added to the U²³⁵ to cause the reaction, and thus it will be added to the left side. There will be unknown number of neutrons produced and thus we put this on the right hand side.
n₁ + U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr ⁹⁷ + xn1 ( n1 to mean a neutron of mass 1)
To balance the masses on both sides of the equation;
1 + 235 = 137 +97+ x
x = 2 
the end reaction will be
n₁ +U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr⁹⁷ + 2 n₁

nexus9112 [7]
For the answer to the question above, I can't help you directly because I don't have a calculator right now. But I'll show you how to solve this.
<span>use the freezing point depression formula for this one: delta T = i * m * K where K is a constant, m is the molality (mol solute/kg solvent), and i is the van'hoff factor the van hoff factor is the number of ions that your salt dissociates into. Since it's an ALKALI flouride salt, how many ions? k is just a constant, you get it from a table in your textbook somewhere So you have everything to solve for the molality of the solution, once you did that, multiplying it by the mass of water to find the mols of the salt. Take the mass of the salt and divide by this mols to figure out the molar mass, and then compare it with the periodic table to identify the salt.
</span>
<u>Mole solute</u>   x  mass of Water  = Mol solute<u>
</u>kg Solvent

then 

Mass of solute  x  <u>            1             </u>   =  molar mass
                               mole of solute
