The mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron present in a nucleus of an atom. For the neutral atom the number of positive charge (number of proton) must be equal to the number of electrons. The number of electrons present in an atom is the atomic number of the atom. The standard way to express the mass number (a) and atomic number (m) of a atom (say X) is
. Now for silicon number of electron or atomic number is 14. And the mass number (a) given 29. Thus the expression nucleus of silicon will be 
Al
Explanation:
The limiting reactant will be Al:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction.
Given parameters:
Mass of Al = 30g Molar mass = 27g/mol
Number of moles =
= 
Number of moles of Al = 1.111 mole
Mass of O₂ = 30g, molar mass = 32g/mol
Number of moles =
= 0.94mol
In the reaction:
4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂
1.11moles of Al will require
= 0.83mole to react
But we have been given 0.94mole of O₂. This is more than required.
Therefore O₂ is in excess and Al is the limiting reactant.
