Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom means the sum of total number of protons present in an atom.

Mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

And, when we write the symbol of an atom then it is represented like this ^{a}_{z}X, where "a" represents the mass number of the atom and "z" represents the number of protons.

Therefore, in plutonium-239 it is shown that mass number is 239 and atomic number of a plutonium atom is 94. Now, calculate its number of neutrons as follows.

         Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                 239 = 94 + no. of neutrons

           no. of neutrons = 239 - 94

                                      = 145

Thus, we can conclude that in plutonium-239 number of protons is 94, number of neutrons is 145 and its symbol is ^{239}_{94}Pu.

38.25 grams of silicon is combined with 14.33 grams of nitrogen gas. How many grams of silicon nitride can be formed if nitrogen
zhuklara [117]
3Si + 2N2 --> Si3N4 (as given) 

n(Si) = m/MM = 38.25/28.085 = 1.3619 mol
n(N2) = 14.33/2*14.007 = 0.5115 mol

Therefore, N2 is limiting and Si is in excess 
The molar ratio of 2N2:Si3N4 is 2:1 
So, 0.0575 mol of silicon nitride is formed (dividing 0.5115 by 2) 

m of silicon nitride= n*mm = 0.0575*140.283 = 8.06627... g 
= 8.066g (4 significant figures) 

(hopefully it is right, but double check in case i did something wrong) :)
