Explanation:

235 U92 + 1n0 --> A + B + 3 1n0

when A = ;

(a) xenon-133

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 133 -3 = 100

Atomic number = 92 - 54 = 38

Element = Sr - Strontium

(b) barium-144

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 144 -3 = 89

Atomic number = 92 - 56 = 36

Element = Kr - Krypton

(c) cesium-143

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 143 -3 = 90

Atomic number = 92 - 55 = 37

Element = Rb - Rubidium

(d) tellurium-137

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 137 -3 = 96

Atomic number = 92 - 52 = 40

Element = Zr - Zirconium

(e) lanthanum-146

Mass number of B = 235 + 1 - 146 -3 = 87

Atomic number = 92 - 57 = 35

Element = Br - Bromine

Malik analyzed three samples to test which element was a metalloid. The table shows his results. A 7-column table with 3 rows. T
Maru [420]

Answer:C is most likely a metalloid

Explanation:A is a metal while B is a non metal. This is because when we look at the properties of metals, they are very lustrous and have a high conductivity. On the other hand, non metals are the opposite but metalloids have properties the are inbetween ie, they react with either an acid or base, and have a medium electrical conductivity unlike metals(high) anc non metals(low).

A reaction rate increases by a factor of 655 in the presence of a catalyst at 37°C. The activation energy of the original pathwa
irinina [24]

For a reaction rate that increases by a factor of 655 in the presence of a catalyst at 37°C, the activation energy of the new pathway  is mathematically given as

Ea2=89.28JKoule/mol

<h3>What is the activation energy of the new pathway, all other factors being equal?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the rate constant  is mathematically given as

K=Ae^{Ea1/Rt}

Therefore

\frac{1}{655}=\frac{1}{8.31*3.10}(Ea2-105000)

Ea2=89286.083Joule/mol

In conclusion, the activation energy

Ea2=89.28JKoule/mol

What is the percent composition of chromium in BaCrO4
Allushta [10]

The answer is: the percent composition of chromium is 20.52%.

Ar(Cr) = 52; atomic mass of chromium.

Mr(BaCrO₄) = 253.3; molecular mass of barium chromate.

ω(Cr) = Ar(Cr) ÷ Mr(BaCrO₄) · 100%.

ω(Cr) = 52 ÷ 253.3 ·100%.

ω(Cr) = 20.52%; the percent composition of chromium in barium chromate.
