If the broccoli you ate with dinner last night had 1.3 moles of nitrogen atoms, how many atoms of nitrogen did you eat?

Well you can immediately rule out a and d because if a metal were to lose or gain protons, then it would become a different element all together. the answer here is b because the positive symbol with a number refers to how many electrons the metal can give away to become stable.

  balanced chemical equations follow the law of conservation of mass and charges. the masses and charges on either sides of the equation should be balanced.in conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element on left side should be equal to the number of atoms of each element on the right side of the equation.1)k₂so₄ + 2ca(no₃)₂ --> 2kno₃ + 2caso₄number of ions        left side             right side  k⁺         2                         2so₄²⁻   1                         2ca²⁺     2                         2no₃⁻     4                         2in this equation the masses of so₄²⁻ and no₃ are not balanced. therefore this equation violates the law of conservation of mass2)ti + 2 cl₂ > ticl₄        left side       right side  ti           1               1cl           4               4this equation follows the law of conservation of mass3)2c₂h₂ + 5o₂ > 4co₂   + 2h₂o              left side     right side  c               4               4h               4               4o             10             10this equation follows the law of conservation of mass4)baso₄ + 2naoh --> ba(oh)₂   + na₂so₄          left side       right side  ba       1                   1so₄²⁻     1                   1na         2                   2  oh⁻       2                   2this equation follows the law of conservation of massanswer is 1st equation
