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.

A container of a mixture of 4 gases has a total pressure of 35.7 kPa. Gas A has a partial pressure of 7.8kPa. Gas B has a partia
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa

Explanation:

As per the Dalton's law of partial pressure, in a mixture, pressure exerted by each gas when summed gives the total partial pressure exerted by mixture.

P(Total) = P1+P2+P3.....

Given P(Total) = 35.7 kPa

Partial pressure of gas A Pa = 7.8 kPa

Partial pressure of gas B Pb = 3.7 kPa

Partial pressure of gas C Pc =  8.7 kPa

There, Partial pressure of gas D Pd = P(Total) -(Pa+Pb+Pc)

Pd = 35.7-(7.8+3.7+8.7) = 35.7-20.2 kPa = 15.5 kPa

Therefore, partial pressure of gas D Pd = 15.5 kPa
