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.

The following equation lnN - N₀ = -kt Of time t is plotted on x-axis and lnN is plotted on y-axis, what are the slopes and y-int
stepladder [879]

Answer:

-k slope

The term No is the y intercept(does not mean NO) y-intercept

Explanation:

For a straight line graph, the normal equation could be written as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.

Writing the equation is the form of y = mx + c gives the following;

lnN = -kt + No

As obtained from the question, t is plotted in the x-axis, while lnN is the plot on the y-axis.

Now, we are asked to obtain the slope and the y-intercept. It can be seen that the slope is the coefficient of the term x in this case t. Hence, our slope is -k.

The y-intercept is the other term which in this case is No

What are the concentrations of h3o+ and oh− in tomatoes that have a ph of 4.10?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer : The concentration of H_3O^+ and OH^- are 7.94\times 10^{-5} and 1.258\times 10^{-10} respectively.

Solution : Given,

pH = 4.10

pH : pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration.

Formula used : pH=-log[H_3O^+]

First we have to calculate the hydronium ion concentration by using pH formula.

4.10=-log[H_3O^+]

[H_3O^+]=antilog(-4.10)

[H_3O^+]=7.94\times 10^{-5}

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

As we know, pH+pOH=14

4.10+pOH=14

pOH=9.9

Now we have to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration.

pOH=-log[OH^-]

9.9=-log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=antilog(-9.9)

[OH^-]=1.258\times 10^{-10}

Therefore, the concentration of H_3O^+ and OH^- are 7.94\times 10^{-5} and 1.258\times 10^{-10} respectively.
