Nuclear Transmutations
« on: April 16, 2009, 07:41:12 PM »
Need more of a confirmation on whether I've done this correct or not.

Select the product of the following nuclear reaction:

5024Cr + 126:rarrow: 2 10n + ?

Problem attached in picture form if trouble reading my typing of it.

I figure.

50+12 = 62
24 + 6 = 30
2 * 1 = 2

So the left side contains 62 total on top, 30 total on bottom.
The right side contains 2 on top, 0 on bottom.
So the unknown must be:
62 - 2 = 60
30 - 0 = 30

30 is Zn.
So answer should be:
6030Zn

Would this be correct?

Thanks.
