Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of phosphorus is equal to the atomic number of phosphorus, which is 15. If an atom of phosphorus has 17 neutrons, then the mass number would be 15 protons + 17 neutrons = 32. Thus, the correct answer choice here is B.
Explanation:
<u>Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass , </u>
Hence ,
n = w / m
n = moles ,
w = given mass ,
m = molecular mass .
For example ,
For a compound X ,
The given mass i.e. w = 20 g
and the molecular mass ,i.e. , m = 10 g / mol
Then the moles can easily be calculated by using the above formula ,
n = w / m
n = 20 g / 10 g/mol = 2 mol
Hence , answer = 2 mol.
