btw i can predict the future and i can see that a dude named jamescodwell is gonna answer this question

Fission

1.Uranium-235 decays naturally, by alpha decay. Write the balanced decay equation below. (5 points)

235/92 U = 231/90 Th + 4/2 He (i couldn't type the arrow thingy)

2.Uranium-235 has a half-life of about 700 million years. If 1 kg of U-235 is put on a shelf in a laboratory, how much of it will be left after 700 million years? (5 points)

1/2 kg of u-235 I think

3.Uranium-235 is a popular choice of fuel for nuclear reactors. But U-235 doesn't always fission the same way. Below are three ways it can split. Complete the nuclear equations so they balance. (6 points)

it can split into Be-56, Pu-52, and un 36.

4. Instead of allowing 1 kg of U-235 to decay naturally, imagine it is used as fuel in a nuclear

reactor. It is bombarded with neutrons, causing it all to fission in a matter of days. After 1 kg of U-235 undergoes fission, the mass of the products is 8.4 x 10-4 kg less than the initial 1 kg. How much energy was produced by the fission of 1 kg of U-235? (Hint: Use Einstein's equation, E = mc2, where E is energy in Joules, m is mass in kilograms, and c is the speed of light, 3 x 108 m/s.) (8 points)

Energy = mc2

Energy = (8.4 x 10^- 4) (3 x 10^8) ^2

Energy = 7.56 x 10^13  

there will be about 75600000000000 or 7.56 x 10^13 joules of energy produced by the fission of 1 kilogram of uranium 235  

(fact: this one problem alone took me 20 min of checking and rechecking and redoing and starting over to do, and I'm still pretty sure I got the number of 0's at the end wrong lol, though lucky for me I'm in honor's algebra so it didn't take me like 2 years to find the answer UWU)

Fusion

5.The fusion of two hydrogen isotopes is shown below. Complete the nuclear equation so it balances. (5 points)

2/1 H +2/1 H = 4/2 He + 1/0 N

wow this actually makes sense now

6.If 1 kg of fuel is used in the above fusion reaction, the resulting helium has a mass of 0.993 kg. In other words, 0.007 kg of mass is converted to energy. How much energy is produced by the fusion of 1 kg of hydrogen? (Hint: Use Einstein's equation, E = mc2, where E is energy in Joules, m is mass in kilograms, and c is the speed of light, 3 x 108 m/s.) (6 points)

6.3 x 10^14 joules of energy

Alternative Energy

7.Hydrogen fuel cells combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce water and energy. Assume 1 kg of fuel is used, and the mass of the water produced is 1.10 x 10-11 kg. How much energy is produced by this fuel cell? (Hint: Use E = mc2.) (7 points)

5.76 x 10^7 joules of energy.

Comparison

8.Complete the following table and questions. (8 points)

Reaction      Mass "Lost"  Energy Produced

Fission of 1 kg of U-235  1/2 kg     7.56 x 10^13 joules

Fusion of 1 kg of hydrogen  1/3 kg     6.3 x 10^13 joules

Fuel cell with 1 kg of hydrogen and oxygen  1/3 kg   5.4 x 10^13 joules

Which type of reaction "loses" the most mass?

the fission reaction of 1 kilogram of uranium 235

Which type of reaction produces the most energy? Why?

also the fission reaction of 1 kilogram of uranium 235, one reason that I think it is the reaction that produces more energy than the two other reactions is because of its "mass lost" since it lost 1/6 more mass than the other two reactions, or it might just be the elements that they use since they used uranium for fission, hydrogen for fusion, and hydrogen and oxygen for cell fueling.

Explanation:

explanation:

crosscutting concepts have application across all domains of science. as such, they are a way of linking the different domains of science. they include patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
