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

What will most likely happen when stress is applied to an equilibrium reaction? The system will not respond to the stress. The s
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The system will change its concentration to shift to a new equilibrium position.

Explanation:

For example  in the Haber Process

N2  +  3H2  ⇄  2NH3

If the pressure is increased the  process will move to the right - to have more NH3 and less of the nitrogen and hydrogen.

5. If 1 g of a gas occupies a volume of 300 mL at STP, what is the molecular weight of the gas?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

74,67 gr/mol

Explanation:

At STP 1 mole of an ideal gas has volume of 22,4 L. Since we know the volume of the gas we can find the number of moles of the gas. (300 mL=0,3 L)

n=0,3L/22,4 L=0,01339 mol

Since we know weight of the gas as 1 g, we can find the molecular weight as;

MW=1 g/0,01339 mol =74,67 gr/mol

Which of the following processes does not facilitate containment?
Marta_Voda [28]

Enrichment of uranium-235 is done. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is the meaning of containment?</h3>

The act, process, or means of keeping something within limits the containment of health costs.

Enrichment is a process of increasing the proportion of fissile isotope found in uranium ore (represented by the symbol 'U') to make it usable as nuclear fuel or the compressed, explosive core of nuclear weapons.

Hence, option A is correct.
