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

Limestone (CaCO3) is decomposed by heating to quicklime (CaO) and carbon dioxide. Calculate how many grams of quicklime can be p
Harman [31]

Answer: 2800 g

Explanation:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 5 kg = 5000 g

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{5000g}{100g/mol}=50moles

1 mole of CaCO_3 produces = 1 mole of CaO

50 moles of CaCO_3 produces =\frac{1}{1}\times 50=50moles of CaO

Mass of CaO=moles\times {\text{Molar mass}}=50moles\times 56g/mole=2800g

2800 g of CaO is produced from 5.0 kg of limestone.

Which coefficient should appear in front of LiNO3 in the balanced equation?
ikadub [295]
Missing chemical reaction:
Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + Li₂SO₄(aq) → PbSO₄(s) + LiNO₃(aq).
Answer is:
Balanced chemical reaction:
Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + Li₂SO₄(aq) → PbSO₄(s) + 2LiNO₃(aq).
Number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be the same. There is two lithium atoms, two nitrogs, ten oxygen atoms, one lead and one sulfur on both side of balanced chemical reaction.

When would a cell use Active Transport? Mark all that apply.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Option B, When the cell needs to move a compound against its concentration gradient.

Explanation:

A cell uses active transport when it has to transport substances against the concentration gradient across its membrane.

In active transport additional energy is used (generally provided by energy molecules like ATP) to push the substance across any membrane from low concentration side  to high concentration side.

Option B is correct
