(A)
Complete the fission reaction
Answer to Problem 50QAP
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
To calculate the no of neutrons release from the above equation. The mass should be equal to the left side and right side of the equation for balancing the equation. So, equate the left side and right side of the masses. We get,
So, 8 neutrons will be released from the above equation
Hence, the complete reaction would be
(B)
Complete the fission reaction
Answer to Problem 50QAP
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
The mass should be equal to the left side and right side of the equation for balancing the equation. So, equate the left side and right side of the masses. We get,
And, Atomic Number
So, Check the periodic table and find the element whose atomic number is 40
Hence, the complete reaction would be

- 1. Zombies have appeared in Chicago and every day, each zombie produces 3 new zombies. Suppose that initially there is only one zombie, how many zombies will there be in 7 days? 2. In a rabbit population, each pair produces 2.2 offspring every year (i.e. 1.1 per capita) and the adults have a 0.9 annual death rate after reproduction (and assume the whole population is paired up into mating pairs.) If initially there are 55 rabbits, predict how many there will be in 5 years (rounded to the nearest integer). 3. Consider the same rabbit population, but now a python that lives nearby eats exactly 1 rabbit a month. If initially there are 55 rabbits, how many do you predict will be in 10 years?arrow_forward2arrow_forward.3 1 dx=? '2 x² – 4x+5 1- A 1+ В 4 (D 1+% Barrow_forward

If they each roll until they obtain five "doubles" (1-1,...,6-6), what is the pmf of X (= the total number of times a die is rolled)? What are E(X) and V(X)?arrow_forwardWhen metallic tin is kept below 13.2°C, it slowlybecomes brittle and crumbles to a gray powder. Tin objects eventuallycrumble to this gray powder spontaneously if kept in acold climate for years. The Europeans who saw tin organ pipes intheir churches crumble away years ago called the change tin pestbecause it seemed to be contagious, and indeed it was, for the graypowder is a catalyst for its own formation.A catalyst for a chemical reaction is a substance that controls therate of reaction without undergoing any permanent change in itself.An autocatalytic reaction is one whose product is a catalyst for itsown formation. Such a reaction may proceed slowly at first if theamount of catalyst present is small and slowly again at the end,when most of the original substance is used up. But in between,when both the substance and its catalyst product are abundant, thereaction proceeds at a faster pace.In some cases, it is reasonable to assume that the rate y = dx/dtof the reaction is…arrow_forward
- A radioactive isotope is released into the air as an industrial by-product. This isotope is not very stable due to radioactive decay. Two-thirds of the original radioactive material loses its radioactivity after each month. If 13 grams of this isotope are released into the atmosphere at the end of the first and every subsequent month and the situation goes on ad infinitum, how many grams of radioactive material are in the atmosphere at the end of each month in the long run?arrow_forwardAn important tool in archeological research is radiocarbon dating, developed by the American chemist Willard F. Libby.3 This is a means of determining the age of certain wood and plant remains, and hence of animal or human bones or artifacts found buried at the same levels. Radiocarbon dating is based on the fact that some wood or plant remains contain residual amounts of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon. This isotope is accumulated during the lifetime of the plant and begins to decay at its death. Since the half-life of carbon-14 is long (approximately 5730 years),4 measurable amounts of carbon-14 remain after many thousands of years. If even a tiny fraction of the original amount of carbon-14 is still present, then by appropriate laboratory measurements the proportion of the original amount of carbon-14 that remains can be accurately determined. In other words, if Q(t) is the amount of carbon-14 at time t and Q0 is the original amount, then the ratio Q(t)/Q0 can be…arrow_forwardChoose the correct answerarrow_forward
- 5. An archeological dig uncovers an ancient urn with 20% of element U left in it. If the decay rate for element U is 0.0034, how old is the urn? When will the element U be essentially zero (assuming 1 x 10-10 of element U left)? (round to two significant figures for both) How old is the urn? After how many years will U be essentially zero? years old years 5arrow_forwardA radioactive sample decays according to the law = -ky where k >0 Suppose c represents the size of the initial sample and only one-third of the sample remains after 10 hours, which of the following equations hold true?
