Sodium has 11 protons, therefore number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Sodium has 12 neutrons.

<h3>What are neutrons?</h3>

The neutron is a subatomic particle with the symbol n that is slightly heavier than a proton and has a neutral charge (i.e., neither a positive nor a negative charge). Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are both referred to as nucleons because of how similarly they function inside the nucleus and because they both have masses that are about equal to one atomic mass unit. Nuclear physics describes their characteristics and interactions.

The arrangement of electrons around an atom's hefty nucleus largely determines its chemical characteristics. The amount of protons, or atomic number, determines the charge of the nucleus, which determines the electron configuration.

KOH (aq) + HNO(little3) (aq) = KNO(little 3) (aq) + H20 (1)
Yuki888 [10]

The reaction already balanced

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

• 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.  

• 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product  

• 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:  

Balancing C, H and the last O  

Reaction

KOH (aq) + HNO₃ (aq) ⇒ KNO₃ (aq) + H₂0 (l)

  • give coefficient

aKOH (aq) + bHNO₃ (aq) ⇒ KNO₃ (aq) + cH₂0 (l)

K : left = a, right = 1⇒a=1

N : left = b, right =1, b=1

H: left = a, right a+b=2c⇒1+1=2c⇒2=2c⇒c=1

KOH (aq) + HNO₃ (aq) ⇒ KNO₃ (aq) + H₂0 (l)⇒ already balanced

Calculate the number of ATOMS in 1.0 mole of O2.
Wewaii [24]
There is 6.02*10^23 molecule per mole. And there is 2 atoms per oxygen molecule. So the answer is 1.204*10^24 atoms in 1.0 mole of O2.
