Answer:

Mass number (A) is the number of nucleons (proton and neutron) present in a atom.

Explanation:

electrons don't cout since they are thousandth's of the mass of protons or neutrons

Blank + BaCl2 = BaSO4 + 2NaCl

crimeas [40]

The blank is filled by Na₂SO₄, and the complete equation for the double displacement reaction is:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

<h3>What is a double displacement reaction?</h3>

It is a reaction in which both reactants exchange anions and cations.

Let's consider the following incomplete double displacement reaction.

_____ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

If we compare the left and right sides, we can see that the missing ions in the left side are Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻. Thus, the missing compound is Na₂SO₄. The complete equation is:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

238,2U --> 234Th +<br> 90

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$\\_{2}^{4} \alpha$

Explanation:

In this question, we wish to find the missing nuclei for the equation:

$\\_{92}^{238} U\rightarrow _{90}^{234} Th + _{Z}^{A} X$

In order to find the missing species, we need to use the charge and mass balance law. That is, the mass should be conserved: the total mass on the left-hand side with respect to the arrow should be equal to the total mass on the right-hand side with respect to the arrow:

$238 = 234 + A$
