Answer: 27 neutrons

Explanation:

Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Atomic number.

Hence, Calcium with mass number 47 and atomic number 20 will have 20 protons

Therefore, since Mass number = number of protons + neutrons

47 = 20 + neutrons

Neutrons = 47 - 20 = 27

Thus, there are 27 neutrons in radioactive calcium nucleus.

Answer:

Answer is attached but read below for full explanation.

Explanation:

This reaction is called Hydrolysis of Amides. Amides are carboxylic acid derivatives where the -OH of the carboxylic acid has been replaced by -NH2, -NHR, or -NR2 of an amine. Since the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an amine to give an amide also liberates water, this is an example of a "condensation reaction".
