The right answer to this question is U-235. It is an isotope of Uranium and it is an unsteady heavy metal used in fission reactions because it can run long chains of reactions. I hope this helps.

Answer:

C. U-235

Explanation:

A fission reaction is one in which an unstable radioisotope breaks down into smaller nuclei when bombarded with energetic particles.

The highly unstable isotope that is often used in fission reactions is U-235. When bombarded with neutrons that atom breaks down to form krypton and barium along with the release of a large amount of energy. The reaction is given as:

₉₂U²³⁵ +  ₀n¹  →   ₃₆Kr⁸⁹  +  ₅₆Ba¹⁴⁴  + 3₀n¹ + 210 Mev energy

Some water released 7800 J of energy when cooled from 78°C to 33°C. What was the mass of the water?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

-41. 47

Explanation:

m = q / Cp x T

m = Mass

q = Energy (or joules)

Cp = Heat Capacity

T = Change in Temperature

Water's heat capacity is always 4.18.

This is the formula you'll need for change in temperature:

Final - Initial

So, 33 - 78 = -45

m = 7800 / 4.18 x -45

= -41.47
