Bombarding plutonium-239 with an alpha particle creates an isotope of curium. Balance the equation. 239 94 Pu + 4 2 He → a b Cm + c d n Identify the values for the unknown letters. a is b is c is d is

Respuesta :

Answer:

242

96

1

0

Explanation:

Knowing the functioning of balancing equations, we have that the values ​​of the constants correspond to 242, 96, 1 e 0.

Given the equation we have:

[tex]239 \ 94 Pu + 4 2 He \rightarrow a b Cm + c d[/tex]

Knowing from the beginning that nothing is lost and nothing is created but everything is transformed, we will have that the value of the constants will be given by:

  • D: will be equal to zero because two constants together don't mean anything
  • C: will be equal to 1 for the same reason as D.

so for a and b we will calculate as:

[tex]239+3=a\\a=242\\94+2=b\\b=96[/tex]
