Mass number = protons + neutrons

If you have the # of protons and the mass #, subtract the number of protons from the mass number to get the number of neutrons.

If you have the number of neutrons and the mass number, subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

<h3>Mass number:</h3>

The element's mass number is nothing but the sum of total number of neutrons and protons present in the element's nucleus. For example, if the mass number of nitrogen is 14, it means that there are 7 number of protons and 7 number of neutrons in the nucleus of the nitrogen.

The relationship between the number of proton and the neutron with that of mass number is that, the latter gives the count of the former. On contrary, the atomic number denotes the weight of the atom.

Answer:

Yes. This reaction supports the Law of Conservation of Mass. There are the same amount of each type of atom which holds the same amount of mass. Therefore it is true that this chemical reaction supports the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Answer:

Structurally, proteins are different from carbohydrates because all proteins contain nitrogen (option C).

Explanation:

The basis of the chemical composition of proteins is carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, so all proteins have nitrogen in their structure. Some proteins also possess phosphorus and sulfur atoms, among others.

Proteins are biomolecules formed by the union of multiple amino acids through carboxyl-amino bonds, called petidic bonds. Their content of nitrogen and other atoms in their structure is what makes them different from carbohydrates.

The other options are not possible because:

Only some proteins contain iron in their composition.
Potassium and helium are not part of the protein structure.
