The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given nuclear processes step by step. ### (a) **Given Reaction:** \[ _{17}^{35} \text{Cl} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow ... + _{2}^{4} \text{He} \] **Step 1:** Identify the atomic numbers and mass numbers. - Chlorine (Cl) has atomic number 17 and mass number 35. - Neutron (n) has atomic number 0 and mass number 1. - Helium (He) has atomic number 2 and mass number 4. **Step 2:** Set up the equation for atomic numbers. \[ 17 + 0 = x + 2 \implies x = 15 \] **Step 3:** Set up the equation for mass numbers. \[ 35 + 1 = y + 4 \implies y = 32 \] **Step 4:** Identify the element with atomic number 15 and mass number 32. - This element is Phosphorus (P). **Final Equation:** \[ _{17}^{35} \text{Cl} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow _{15}^{32} \text{P} + _{2}^{4} \text{He} \] ### (b) **Given Reaction:** \[ _{92}^{235} \text{U} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow ... + _{54}^{137} \text{Xe} + 2 \, _{0}^{1} \text{n} \] **Step 1:** Set up the equation for atomic numbers. \[ 92 + 0 = x + 54 + 0 + 0 \implies x = 38 \] **Step 2:** Set up the equation for mass numbers. \[ 235 + 1 = y + 137 + 2 \implies y = 97 \] **Step 3:** Identify the element with atomic number 38 and mass number 97. - This element is Strontium (Sr). **Final Equation:** \[ _{92}^{235} \text{U} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow _{38}^{97} \text{Sr} + _{54}^{137} \text{Xe} + 2 \, _{0}^{1} \text{n} \] ### (c) **Given Reaction:** \[ _{13}^{27} \text{Al} + _{2}^{4} \text{He} \rightarrow ... + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \] **Step 1:** Set up the equation for atomic numbers. \[ 13 + 2 = x + 0 \implies x = 15 \] **Step 2:** Set up the equation for mass numbers. \[ 27 + 4 = y + 1 \implies y = 30 \] **Step 3:** Identify the element with atomic number 15 and mass number 30. - This element is Phosphorus (P). **Final Equation:** \[ _{13}^{27} \text{Al} + _{2}^{4} \text{He} \rightarrow _{15}^{30} \text{P} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \] ### (d) **Given Reaction:** \[ ... + (n,p) \rightarrow _{16}^{35} \text{S} \] **Step 1:** Set up the equation for atomic numbers. - Let the initial atomic number be \( x \). \[ x + 0 = 16 + 1 \implies x = 17 \] **Step 2:** Set up the equation for mass numbers. - Let the initial mass number be \( y \). \[ y + 1 = 35 + 1 \implies y = 36 \] **Step 3:** Identify the element with atomic number 17 and mass number 36. - This element is Chlorine (Cl). **Final Equation:** \[ _{17}^{36} \text{Cl} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow _{16}^{35} \text{S} + _{1}^{1} \text{p} \] ### (e) **Given Reaction:** \[ _{94}^{239} \text{Pu} \, (\alpha, \beta^{-}) \rightarrow ... \] **Step 1:** Set up the equation for atomic numbers. \[ 94 + 2 - 1 = x \implies x = 95 \] **Step 2:** Set up the equation for mass numbers. \[ 239 + 4 + 0 = y \implies y = 243 \] **Step 3:** Identify the element with atomic number 95 and mass number 243. - This element is Americium (Am). **Final Equation:** \[ _{94}^{239} \text{Pu} \rightarrow _{95}^{243} \text{Am} + _{2}^{4} \text{He} + \text{(other products)} \] ### Summary of Final Reactions: (a) \( _{17}^{35} \text{Cl} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow _{15}^{32} \text{P} + _{2}^{4} \text{He} \) (b) \( _{92}^{235} \text{U} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow _{38}^{97} \text{Sr} + _{54}^{137} \text{Xe} + 2 \, _{0}^{1} \text{n} \) (c) \( _{13}^{27} \text{Al} + _{2}^{4} \text{He} \rightarrow _{15}^{30} \text{P} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \) (d) \( _{17}^{36} \text{Cl} + _{0}^{1} \text{n} \rightarrow _{16}^{35} \text{S} + _{1}^{1} \text{p} \) (e) \( _{94}^{239} \text{Pu} \rightarrow _{95}^{243} \text{Am} + _{2}^{4} \text{He} + \text{(other products)} \)
