absorbing a neutron:
235 U +in+Kr + 14 Ba + xon
What is the value of x?
x =
Your answer should be a number.

Respuesta :

The value of x = 3

Further explanation

Fusion and fission reactions are reactions involving atomic nucleus reactions

Fission reaction is a nucleation division reaction by firing a particle usually neutron so that it gets smaller particles of atomic nuclei.

Fission of Uranium-235

[tex]\tt ^1_0n+^{235}_{92}U\rightarrow ^{141}_{56}Ba+^{92}_{36}Kr+3^1_0n[/tex]

In this reaction, the sum of the mass number and atomic number of the elements involved in the reaction will be equal

atomic number left : 0+92=92

atomic number right : 56+36=92

mass number left : 1+235=236

mass number right : 141+92+3=236

The value of x in the fission process of uranium has been 3.

Fission reaction has been the nuclear reaction resulting in the breaking of the element into smaller substituents. The fission of uranium has been:

n +  U [tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Ba + Kr + n

In the given fission reaction, the mass number of the atoms on the right and left of the reaction has to be equal. The mass number has been;

235 + 1 = 141 + 92 + x

236 = 233 + x

x = 236 -233

x = 3

The value of x in the fission process of uranium has been 3.
