<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399
<u>Explanation:</u>
Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.
The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:
![\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20m%3D%5B%28n_p%5Ctimes%20m_p%29%2B%28n_n%5Ctimes%20m_n%29%5D-M)
where,
= number of protons
= mass of one proton
= number of neutrons
= mass of one neutron
M = mass number of element
We are given:
An isotope of phosphorus which is 
Number of protons = atomic number = 15
Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16
Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu
Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu
Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![\Delta m=[(15\times 1.00728)+(16\times 1.00866)]-30.973765\\\\\Delta m=0.27399](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20m%3D%5B%2815%5Ctimes%201.00728%29%2B%2816%5Ctimes%201.00866%29%5D-30.973765%5C%5C%5C%5C%5CDelta%20m%3D0.27399)
Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

False Alkaline earth metals is group 2
Answer:
Mole fraction of solute is 0.0462
Explanation:
To solve this we use the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure.
First of all, we search for vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C = 23.8 Torr
Now, we convert the Torr to mmHg. Ratio is 1:1, so 23.8 Torr is 23.8 mmHg.
Formula for lowering vapor pressure is:
ΔP = P° . Xm
Where ΔP = P' (Vapor pressure of solution) - P° (Vapor pressure of pure solvent)
Xm = mole fraction
24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 23mmHg . Xm
Xm = (24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg) / 23mmHg
Xm = 0.0462
Explanation:
For the first part,
Reaction equation:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
Given:
Number of moles of NH₃ = 6 moles
Unknown:
Number of moles of N₂ = ?
Solution:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃;
From the reaction above, we solve from the known specie to the unknown. Ensure that the equation is balanced;
2 moles of NH₃ is produced from 1 mole of N₂
6 moles of NH₃ will be produced from 
mole of N₂
= 3moles of N₂
The number of moles of N₂ is 3 moles

Given parameters:
Number of moles of sulfur = 2.4moles
Molar mass of sulfur = 32.07g/mol
Unknown:
Mass of sulfur = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of any substance can be found using the expression below;
Number of moles = 
Mass of sulfur = number of moles of sulfur x molar mass
Insert the parameters and solve;
Mass of sulfur = 2.4 x 32.07 = 76.97g
