First, we calculate the mass of Phosphorous present:
283.88 x 0.4364
= 123.88 amu
Atomic mass of P is 31 amu

moles of P = mass / Ar
= 123.88 / 31
= 4.0 moles

We know that one mole of substance has 6.02 x 10²³ particles
Atoms of P = 4 x 6.02 x 10²³ 
= 2.41 x 10²⁴ atoms

What is difference between kilowatt and kilowatt hour?
Scrat [10]
Those two units can be compared to a 'mile per hour' and a 'mile per hour - hour'.
One is a rate.  The other is a quantity, after maintaining a rate for some time.

-- 'Joule' is a unit of energy.  It's the amount of work (energy) you do
when you push with a force of 1 newton though a distance of 1 meter.
Lifting 10 pound of beans 3 feet off the floor takes about 40.7 joules of energy.

-- 'Watt' is a <u><em>rate</em></u> of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your <em>power</em> is 40.7 watts.

-- 'Watt-second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 1 joule.

-- 'Watt-hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 3,600 joules.

-- 'Kilowatt' is a bigger <em>rate</em> of using energy . . . 1,000 joules per second.

-- 'Kilowatt - second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 1,000 joules .

-- 'Kilowatt - hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 3,600,000 joules .

Depending on where you live, 3,600,000 joules of energy bought
from the electric company costs something between 5¢ and 25¢.

Lina20 [59]
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the numbers of protons and the numbers of the neutron. Given that the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 35, the number of protons is 30. The atom is then Zinc (Zn). The charge is equal to +2, as it lacks 2 more electrons.

How do dog whistles work?
Alchen [17]

<em>The sound it emits comes from what is known as the ultrasonic range, a pitch that is so high humans can't hear it. Dogs can hear these sounds, however, as can cats and other animals. Because of this, the dog whistle is a favored training tool, though it may not be for every dog parent.</em>
