(a)
Interpretation:
For the given nuclear reaction, X should be identified and the equation should be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
- Nuclear reaction can be written in the shorthand notation with the parentheses. Bombarding particle, that is projectile can be represented as first symbol in the parentheses and the emitted particle that is ejectile which can be represented as the second particle in the parentheses.
Parent nucleus and daughter nucleus can be represented in the front part of the parentheses and back part of the parentheses respectively.
- On accordance with law of conservation of mass, for any
chemical reaction , total masses of reactants and products must be equal.
To find: The value of X in the given all
(a)
Answer to Problem 21.33QP
Explanation of Solution
Nuclear reaction can be written in the shorthand notation with the parentheses. Bombarding particle, that is projectile can be represented as first symbol in the parentheses and the emitted particle that is ejectile which can be represented as the second particle in the parentheses. Parent nucleus and daughter nucleus can be represented in the front part of the parentheses and back part of the parentheses respectively. So for any nuclear reaction, short hand notation will be in this form that is,
For the given reaction a, Short hand notation is
The given chemical equation can be written as,
On accordance with law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction, total masses of reactants and products must be equal. So the X will be
So the balanced equation can be written as,
(b)
Interpretation: For the given nuclear reaction, X should be identified and the equation should be balanced.

To find: The value of X in the given all nuclear equation
(b)
Answer to Problem 21.33QP
Explanation of Solution
For the given reaction b, Shorthand notation is
The given chemical equation can be written as,
On accordance with law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction, total masses of reactants and products must be equal. So the X will be
So the balanced equation can be written as,
(c)
