Answer: 2 (2 neutrons are produced).
Explanation:
1) In the left side of the transmutation equationa appears:
²³⁵U + ¹n →
I am omitting the atomic number (subscript to the leff) because the question does not show them as it is focused on number of neutrons.
2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:
→ ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + ?
3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236
4) The total mass number of Ce and Sr on the right side is 144 + 90 = 234
5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 234 = 2 unit masses on the right side which are the 2 neutrons that are produced along with the Ce and Sr.
The complete final equation is:
²³⁵U + ¹n → ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + 2 ¹n
Where you have the two neutrons produced.
Answer: An oxygen atom in heavy water has an extra neutron. A hydrogen atom in heavy water has an extra proton.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. 342.9 kJ of heat are absorbed.
Explanation:
Calculation of the moles of 
as:-
Mass = 20.00 g
Molar mass of = 17.031 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
Given that:- 
It means that 1 mole of undergoes reaction and absorbs 1168\ kJ of heat
So,
1168 mole of undergoes reaction and absorbs 
of heat
<u>Amount of heat absorbed = + 342.9 KJ</u>
