Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into small nuclei along with release of energy.

The given reaction is ^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{144}_{58}Ce + ^{90}_{38}Sr + x^{1}_{0}n + y^{0}_{-1}\beta

Now, we balance the mass on both reactant and product side as follows.

         235 + 1 = 144 + 90 + (x \times 1) + (y \times 0)

           236 = 234 + x

            x = 236 -234

               = 2

So, now we balance the charge on both reactant and product side as follows.

              92 + 0 = 58 + 38 + (x \times 0) + (y \times -1)

                92 = 96 - y

                  y = 4

Thus, we can conclude that there are 2 neutrons and 4 beta-particles are produced in the given reaction.

Therefore, reaction equation will be as follows.

           ^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{144}_{58}Ce + ^{90}_{38}Sr + 2^{1}_{0}n + 4^{0}_{-1}\beta

In order to promote the common ion effect, the concentration of the common ion must first:_____.
Svet_ta [14]

We need to increase the concentration of common ion first, in order to promote the common ion effect

<h3>What is the Common ion effect?</h3>

It is an effect that suppresses the dissociation of salt due to the addition of another salt having common ions.

For example, a saturated solution of silver chloride in equilibrium has Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ . Sodium Chloride is added to the solution and has a common ion Cl⁻. As a result, the equilibrium shifts to the left to form more silver chloride. Thus, solubility of AgCl decreases.

The Equilibrium law states that if a process is in equilibrium and is subjected to a change

  • in temperature,
  • pressure,
  • the concentration of reactant or product,

then the equilibrium shifts in a particular direction, according to the condition.

Thus, an increase in the concentration of common ion promotes the common ion effect.

Answer:

BRAINLIEST?

Explanation:

Ammonia is a typical weak base. Ammonia itself obviously doesn't contain hydroxide ions, but it reacts with water to produce ammonium ions and hydroxide ions. My findings said that ammonia is a weak base, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, vinegar is a weak acid and ethyl alcohol is a weak acid.

Vinegar and ethyl alcohol are eliminated as they are acids. The question is on bases.... Potassium hydroxide is a strong base. So we are left with ammonia, being a weak base.

(Please help, ASAP) How many grams are in 3.45x10^23 atoms of P?
Daniel [21]

one mole of P weights about 31 grams

in one mole there are 6.022*10^23 atoms

we use the rule of threes

6.022*10^23atoms......weight..........31 grams

3.45*10^23 atoms.........weight...........x grams

x=(3.45*10^23*31)/6.022*10^23

x=106.95/6.022=<u><em>17.76 grams</em></u>
