(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced nuclear reaction for the given nuclear reaction is to be determined
(a)
Explanation of Solution
A nuclear reaction involves changes at the subatomic level such as, the changes in the number of protons, the number of neutrons, or the energy state. To balance a nuclear reaction, two conservation conditions can be used, conservation of mass number and conservation of charges (atomic number).
The given reaction is as follows.
Where,
Apply the conservation conditions for mass numbers and
Balance the mass numbers.
The sum of mass numbers of reactants is equal to the sum of mass numbers of products.
Similarly, balance the atomic numbers. The sum of atomic numbers of reactants is equal to the sum of atomic numbers of products.
Therefore, the reactant,
Hence, the balanced reaction can be written as,
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced nuclear reaction for the given nuclear reaction is to be determined
(b)
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is as follows.
Where,
Apply the conservation conditions for mass numbers and atomic numbers to identify the product,
Balance the mass numbers.
The sum of mass numbers of reactants is equal to the sum of mass numbers of the products.
Similarly, balance the atomic numbers.
The sum of atomic numbers of reactants is equal to the sum of atomic numbers of products.
As the charge is
Hence, the balanced reaction can be written as,
