Explanation:
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct
explanation of A.
Answer:
number of protons: 94
number of neutrons: 145
239
Pu
94
Explanation:
1) The atomic number, Z, of plutonium is Z = 94, i.e plutonium 94 protons
2) Plutoniun-239 is the isotope with mass number 239.
3) Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons =>
number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145
4) The notation requires that you indicate the symbol of the element with the atomic number (number of protons) and the mass number.
You put the mass number as a superscript at the left side of the symbol and the atomic number as subscript to the left of the symbol.
So, in this case the symbol is Pu, the superscript to the left is 239 and the subscript to the left is 94.

Answer:
The molar concentration of a solution made with 3.744 g of Mg(NO₃)₂ dissolved in enough water to make 50.0 mL of solution is 
Explanation:
Molarity or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume.
The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

In this case:
- Mg: 24.3 g/mole
- N: 14 g/mole
- O: 16 g/mole
So, the molar mass of Mg(NO₃)₂ is:
Mg(NO₃)₂= 24.3 g/mole + 2*(14 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole)= 148.3 g/mole
So, if you have 3.744 g of Mg(NO₃)₂, you can apply the following rule of three: if 148.3 grams of Mg(NO₃)₂ are present in 1 mole, 3.744 grams in how many moles are present?

moles= 0.025
Then you have:
- number of moles=0.025
- volume= 50 mL= 0.05 L (being 1,000 mL= 1 L)
Replacing in the definition of molarity:

you get:

<u><em>The molar concentration of a solution made with 3.744 g of Mg(NO₃)₂ dissolved in enough water to make 50.0 mL of solution is </em></u>
