It is actually something standardized more so than theoretical, however in terms of atoms in general the electrons are based on the amount of electronic shells that an atom has and the amount of electrons that atom can accommodate. In the case of sodium, it has three shells with 2 electrons on the first shell which is the maximum, 8 on the second shell which is also the max and 1 on their final shell
So simply put an ATOM of Sodium (Na) has 23 electrons because it has 23 protons which is a fact

Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
The molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.
The ratio of masses are given as:

This illustrates the law of definite proportions which is also known as law of constant compositions .
The law states that 'the elements combining to form compound always combine in a fixed ratio by their mass.'
Whereas :
Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compounds , the mass of one element with respect to the fixed mass of another element are in ratio of small whole numbers.
Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
In a balanced chemical reaction ,total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.
Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
1 mole C3H8 produces 4 moles H2O. So, first we convert 32 grams of propane to moles and then find moles of H2O. Then convert moles of H2O to grams of H2O
Moles of H2O produced = 32 g C3H8 x 1 mole/44 g x 4 moles H2O/mole C3H8 = 2.909 moles H2O
Grams H2O produced = 2.909 moles H2O x 18 g/mole = 52.36 g = 52 g H2O
