This is a neutron induced fission, therefore a neutron will be added to the U²³⁵ to cause the reaction, and thus it will be added to the left side. There will be unknown number of neutrons produced and thus we put this on the right hand side.
n₁ + U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr ⁹⁷ + xn1 ( n1 to mean a neutron of mass 1)
To balance the masses on both sides of the equation;
1 + 235 = 137 +97+ x
x = 2
the end reaction will be
n₁ +U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr⁹⁷ + 2 n₁
Answer:
Decreasing the volume of solvent in the solution of molecule A
Explanation:
We know that one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction is the concentration of the reactants. The greater the concentration of reactants, the faster the rate of reaction (the greater the frequency of collision between reactants).
Hence, when we decrease the volume of solvent in the solution of molecule A, the concentration of the solution increases and consequently more particles of molecule A are available to collide with particles of molecule B resulting in a higher rate of reaction.
What? It would be nice if you show pic
