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.

The reaction na 3po 4( aq) 3 agno3( aq) → ag 3po 4( s) 3 nano 3( aq) is best classified as a(n):_____.
Ugo [173]

The reaction  Na_{3} PO_{4} ( aq) +3AgNO_{3} (aq) → Ag_{3} PO_{4} ( aq) +3NaNO_{3} (aq) is best classified as double displacement reaction.

Those reaction in which two compounds react by exchanges of ions to form two new compounds is called  double displacement reaction. The easiest way to identify double displacement reactions is to check to see whether the cations exchanged anions with each other  or not . Always balanced chemical equation is used to determine.

There are three types of double displacement reaction which is given as,

  1. Precipitation
  2. Neutralization
  3. Gas formation

The real world example of double displacement reaction is combining vinegar and baking soda to create homemade volcano.

What is the net charge of the peptide arg-ala-phe-leu at ph 8?
adell [148]
The structure of this oligopeptide is attached:

It consists of arginine - alanine - phenylalanine and leucine

From the picture we can see that N terminus charge is +1
Also Arginine is considered as basic amino acid with charge +1
C terminus charge is -1

At pH = 8, the whose pKa are less than pH will be deprotonated and the net charge will be +1 

So the net charge of this oligopeptide is +1 at pH = 8
