What else can I help you with?
I’m a nuclear reaction which of the following must be conserved?
In a nuclear reaction, mass and energy must be conserved. Nuclear reactions involve the conversion of mass into energy, following Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which states that mass and energy are equivalent.
In a nuclear reaction WHAT does not have to be conserved?
While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.
How do you do nuclear equations?
To write nuclear equations, determine the reactants and products involved in a nuclear reaction. Balance the mass numbers and atomic numbers on both sides of the equation to maintain nuclear conservation laws. Ensure that the sum of the mass numbers and atomic numbers are equal on both sides.
What two items must be equal for a nuclear equation to be balanced?
In a balanced nuclear equation, the sum of the mass numbers on the right must equal the sum on the left
What shows a balanced nuclear equation for the beta decay pf potassium-42?
The balanced nuclear equation for the beta decay of potassium-42 is: ^42K -> ^42Ca + e^- + νe
What are the two quantities are always conserved in nuclear decay equation?
Energy and electrical charge are two quantities that are always conserved in nuclear decay equation.
What quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear reaction?
In order for a nuclear reaction to be balanced, there are quantities that must be conserved. The quantities are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the particles involved in the reaction.
I’m a nuclear reaction which of the following must be conserved?
In a nuclear reaction, mass and energy must be conserved. Nuclear reactions involve the conversion of mass into energy, following Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which states that mass and energy are equivalent.
Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.

Is the fallowing sentence true or false during nuclear reactions mass is not convserved but engery is conserved?
False. Both mass and energy are conserved during nuclear reactions, according to the principle of mass-energy equivalence stated by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. This means that any changes in mass that occur during a nuclear reaction are accompanied by equivalent changes in energy and vice versa.
Can you convert matter into energry?
Sort of. That's a common explanation for what happens in a nuclear reaction. But technically, both matter and energy are conserved - there is no more or less matter after the reaction, than before the reaction. Therefore, in such cases there is no matter-to-energy conversion. Read the Wikipedia article on "Mass deficit" or "Binding energy" for a more detailed explanation. There's no sort of about it. The meaning of Einstein's equation (E = mc2) is that matter and energy are interconvertible, and this happens all the time. What is conserved is mass-energy. Mass and energy are not conserved separately.
What is the equation that calculates in nuclear reactions?
What is the equation that calculates in nuclear reaction?
When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava is matter conserved?
Yes, this is a simple physical change and matter is always conserved in these. In fact, matter is always conserved except in nuclear reactions where the sum of matter and energy is conserved.
In a correctly written nuclear equation what is true about the total mass number on the reactant side as compared to the total mass number on the product side?
the total mass number should be equal on both sides. conservation of mass law.
Is matter always conserved?
In classical physics, matter is conserved. This means that the total mass of an isolated system remains constant over time. However, in certain situations involving nuclear reactions or particle-antiparticle annihilation, matter can be converted into energy according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2.
How is energy conserved when nuclear fission occurs?
When nuclear fission occurs, energy is conserved through the process of splitting an atom's nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This energy can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
