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.

Answer:

OH^-

Explanation:

Any substance that is able to neutralize acidity in the stomach is generally known as an antacid. There are various kinds of antacids that are in common use. It should be noted that the stomach is usually slightly acidic.

Milk of magnesia is the substance magnesium hydroxide with chemical formula Mg(OH)2. A solution of milk of magnesia contains Mg^2+ and OH^-.

Hence the negative ion contained in milk of magnesia is the hydroxide ion  OH^-.

Predict how many antacid tablets it would take to produce 120 mL of CO2 gas
Alja [10]
<span>The question does not mention the brand or size of antacid tablets, but some research in the internet shows that for a very common brand, Alka Seltzer, that it takes about 4 tablets to produces 60 mL of gas. So for 120mL it will take 120/60 x 4 or 8 tablets to produce 120 mL of CO2 gas.</span>
