Answer:

Uranium-235 absorbing a neutron and breaking into Barium-141, Krypton-92 and three neutrons

Explanation:

A fission reaction is said to have occurred when an unstable nucleus is bombarded with a neutron such that it disintegrates into daughter nuclei and produces more neutrons in the process. Hence, Uranium-235 absorbing a neutron and breaking into Barium-141, Krypton-92 and three neutrons is a fission reaction.

This fission reaction is often a self sustaining reaction. The neutrons produced in the reaction bombards more of the parent nucleus and the process continues indefinitely(chain reaction).

Control rods and moderators are used to keep the chain reaction in check.

Answer: balanced chemical equation: $Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

Net ionic equation : $Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+2Na^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)$

The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are sodium and nitrate ions and hence are not involved in net ionic equation.

Hence, the net ionic equation is $Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$

Onsider the reaction below.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

3.14 moles of hydrogen are produced

Explanation:

This is because for every 1 molesof hydrogen are produced 2 moles of oxygen are produced. So we take 6.28 divide it by 2 and we wend up with 3.14.
