The balanced nuclear equation for the reaction is

<h3>²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n —> ¹⁵⁵₆₂Sm +  ⁷⁸₃₀Zn + 3(¹₀n)</h3>

From the question given above, we were told that:

<u>A fast-moving neutron strikes a ²³⁵U nucleus. The nucleus shatters producing ¹⁵⁵Sm, ⁷⁸Zn, and three neutrons.</u>

The nuclear equation can be written as follow:

Neutron => ¹₀n

Uranium => ²³⁵₉₂U

Samarium => ¹⁵⁵₆₂Sm

Zinc => ⁷⁸₃₀Zn

Uranium + neutron —> Samarium + Zinc + 3 moles of neutron

<h3>²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n —> ¹⁵⁵₆₂Sm +  ⁷⁸₃₀Zn + 3(¹₀n)</h3>

 

 The nuclear equation above is balanced.

What is an example of a microorganism acting in a harmful way? A) Bacteria aiding digestion. B) Bacteria causing strep throat. C
vaieri [72.5K]
Not very often, but sometimes, the language gives away the question. This is one such instance.

Look at A. Is digestion a bad thing? It shouldn't be. Otherwise you run marathons with gobs of food not being broken down and providing energy. 
Not A.

Not C. Do you like yogurt? If you don't do you know someone who does? Is yogurt for you/them a bad thing. Bacteria here are good. Again, not C.

Not D. Waste is bad. It's a problem. Getting rid of it is good. Again not D.

There's only one left.
B <<<< answer. Who would like to get strep throat. It's a fate for your worst enemy.

B <<<< answer.
