Chapter 18, Problem 40AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

 The product blank in the indicated nuclear reaction has to be completed.

  ${}^{235}\text{U}{+}_0^1\text{n}{\to }^{143}\text{Xe}{+}_0^3\text{n}+\underset{\_}{}$

Concept Introduction:

As per law of conservation net mass number that includes protons plus neutron should be equal to sum of the mass number on the other side of nuclear equation. Similarly net protons on right must be equal to net protons on left.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

 The product blank in the indicated nuclear reaction has to be completed.

  ${}^{235}\text{U}{+}_0^1\text{n}{\to }^{102}\text{Y}+3{}_0^1\text{n}+\underset{\_}{}$

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

 The product blank in the indicated nuclear reaction has to be completed.

  ${}^{14}\text{N}{+}_0^1\text{n}{\to }^1\text{H}+\underset{\_}{}$

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
