<span>An atoms atomic mass is the sum of it's proton and neutrons found in the nucleus. An atom's atomic number is the number of protons an atom has. By subtracting an element's atomic number from the atomic mass you can calculate the number of neutrons. For oxygen it would be sixteen minus eight, so oxygen has eight neutrons.</span>

Ans: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams

Explanation:cell division occurs to produce new cells from preexisting ones. the new cells are called daughter cells.the old cells are called parent cells.cell division may be mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis occurs in a somatic cell and produce four daughter cell. Meiosis occurs in sex cells and produce two daughter cells. Cell division usually involves Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Cell division occurs to ensure the continous existence of life.

Mitosis involve producing daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells while meiosis involves producing daughter cells with Half number of chromosomes.
