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

A potential energy diagram is shown.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

25kJ

Explanation:

Given the initial energy to be 30kJ

The energy change from the initial energy to the peak energy = (65-30) kJ

= 35kJ

since the second energy change was a drop in energy it is regarded negative

= (55-65)

= -10kJ

Therefore total energy change

= (35-10)kJ

= 25kJ

In the following reaction, what is the effect on the direction of the reaction if more SO3 is added to the reaction mixture?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to produce more reactants.

Explanation:

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature

Consider the following chemical reaction.

Chemical reaction:

2SO₂ +  O₂  ⇄  2SO₃

In this reaction the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of Product.

When the concentration of product is increased the system will proceed in backward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when product concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state. As the concentration of SO₃  increased the reaction proceed in backward direction to regain the equilibrium state and more reactant is formed.
