Nuclear reaction can be written in the form of
(a)

Answer to Problem 55QRT
The missing product is
Explanation of Solution
Given nuclear equation in the problem statement is,
In a balanced nuclear equation, the mass number balance and atomic number balance has to be equal on both sides of the equation. The unknown element that is formed is represented as
Sum of mass number in the reactant side has to be equal to the sum of mass number in the product side.
Therefore, the mass number of the unknown product is found to be 140.
Sum of atomic number in the reactant side has to be equal to the sum of atomic number in the product side.
Therefore, the atomic number of the unknown product is found to be 54. The element with atomic number 54 is Xenon. Therefore, the missing product is found to be

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups.
