Given the nuclear equation: 235 1 142. 91. 1
U + n—->. Ba + Kr + 3. + energy
92 0. 56. 36. 0
a State the type of nuclear reaction represented
by the equation.
b The sum of the masses of the products is
slightly less than the sum of the masses of the
reactants. Explain this loss of mass.
c This process releases greater energy than an
ordinary chemical reaction does. Name another
type of nuclear reaction that releases greater
energy than an ordinary chemical reaction.
