Answer:

X represents barium - 141 nucleus.

Written as: (141, 56) Ba

Explanation:

In nuclear fission reaction, due to the fact that the process produces more neutrons, a nuclear chain reaction can possibly occurr. Now, a chain reaction is a one whereby the material that begins the reaction will also be one of the products and it can start another reaction.

Now, for the nuclear chain reaction for the fission of uranium-235, its nucleus absorbs a neutron after which it splits into a krypton - 92 nucleus and a barium - 141 nucleus. Thereafter it releases three more neutrons.

Thus, X is the image represents barium - 141 nucleus.

(141,56) Ba

when a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt, why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt?
valentina_108 [34]
In physics, there is a rule that the heat always travels from the hotter object to the cooler object. In this case, as the iron is hotter than the shirt, the heat will travel from the iron to the shirt.

Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.
snow_lady [41]

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

When 0.514 g of biphenyl (c12h10) undergoes comubustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 25.80 °c to 29.40
slava [35]
The  change  in  internal   energy  of the   combustion  of  biphenyl  in  Kj  is  calculated  as follows

  =heat  capacity of  bomb  calorimeter x  delta  T  where  delta T   is  change   in temperature
delta T  = 29.4  -25.8= 3.6 c

= 5.86 kj/c   x  3.6 c =  21.096  kj
