Answer: b. the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In an atom, when neutrons or protons are lost or gains, it directly affects the mass number of an atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Thus the mass number of an element is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

How many moles of calcium nitrate would react with 4.55 moles of chromium(iii) sulfate to produce calcium sulfate and chromium(i
Rasek [7]
The equation for the reaction between the calcium nitrate and chromium sulfate to form calcium sulfate and chromium(iii) nitrate is,
                            3Ca(NO3)2 + Cr2(SO4)3 --> 3CaSO4 + 2Cr(NO3)3
The balanced equation shows that for every 1 mole of chromium sulfate, there will be 3 moles of calcium nitrate. Therefore for this item, there will be 4.55 moles times 3 which is equal to 13.65.
