The balanced nuclear equation for the reaction is
<h3>²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n —> ¹⁵⁵₆₂Sm + ⁷⁸₃₀Zn + 3(¹₀n)</h3>
From the question given above, we were told that:
<u>A fast-moving neutron strikes a ²³⁵U nucleus. The nucleus shatters producing ¹⁵⁵Sm, ⁷⁸Zn, and three neutrons.</u>
The nuclear equation can be written as follow:
Neutron => ¹₀n
Uranium => ²³⁵₉₂U
Samarium => ¹⁵⁵₆₂Sm
Zinc => ⁷⁸₃₀Zn
Uranium + neutron —> Samarium + Zinc + 3 moles of neutron
<h3>²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n —> ¹⁵⁵₆₂Sm + ⁷⁸₃₀Zn + 3(¹₀n)</h3>
The nuclear equation above is balanced.
