Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The shorthand nuclear reaction equations have been given; the first particle in the parentheses is a reactant particle while the second particle is a product particle. These can now be rewritten as the longhand equations as follows;
238/92U + 4/2 He -------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n
238/92U + 4/2 He ------> 241/94Pu + 1/0 n
14/7N + 4/2 He------> 17/8O + 1/1 p
56/26Fe + 2 4/2 He----> 60/29Cu + 4/2 He
Yes, because you made a new substance to make a gas.
<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of 
and 
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
.....(1)
Let the fractional abundance of isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of isotope will be '1 - x'
- <u>For isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 35 amu
Fractional abundance of isotope = x
- <u>For isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 37 amu
Fractional abundance of isotope = 1 - x
Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=35.45%3D%5B%2835%5Ctimes%20x%29%2B%2837%5Ctimes%20%281-x%29%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D0.775)
Percentage abundance of isotope = 
Percentage abundance of isotope = 
Hence, the percentage abundance of and isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
