Answer: 
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken. In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.
The balanced combustion reaction is,:
Answer: 2 (2 neutrons are produced).
Explanation:
1) In the left side of the transmutation equationa appears:
²³⁵U + ¹n →
I am omitting the atomic number (subscript to the leff) because the question does not show them as it is focused on number of neutrons.
2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:
→ ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + ?
3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236
4) The total mass number of Ce and Sr on the right side is 144 + 90 = 234
5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 234 = 2 unit masses on the right side which are the 2 neutrons that are produced along with the Ce and Sr.
The complete final equation is:
²³⁵U + ¹n → ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + 2 ¹n
Where you have the two neutrons produced.
Magnesium salt is the type of substance
You cannot find it if you do not know the information. Was there a molar mass given or do you know if it is asking for the molar mass?
