Answer

Reactions C and D conserve baryon number.

Work Step by Step

The baryon numbers for particles are in Table 44.3. a. List the baryon numbers for the reactant(s): 1 + 1 = 2 List the baryon numbers for the product(s): 1 + 0 = 1 Not conserved. b. List the baryon numbers for the reactant(s): 1 + 1 = 2 List the baryon numbers for the product(s): 0 + 0 = 0 Not conserved. c. List the baryon numbers for the reactant(s): 1 List the baryon numbers for the product(s): 1 + 0 + 0 = 1 Conserved. d. List the baryon numbers for the reactant(s): 1 – 1 = 0 List the baryon numbers for the product(s): 0 Conserved.
