<span>The mass number of an ion is calculated by adding the neutrons and electrons together. In this case 159+107=266. However, since this ion has a +1 charge, you must add 1 to the electrons. This would give a total mass of 267.</span>
Answer:- 
Explanations:- The solution we have is a buffer solution and we know that a buffer solution resists a change in its pH if a strong acid or base is added to it.
Here, the buffer solution we have is of a weak base and it's conjugate acid. So, a strong acid(nitric acid) is added to this buffer then it reacts with the base present in the buffer so that the acid could be neutralized. This is called buffer action.
The net ionic equation is written as:

Note that
is a strong acid and nitrate ion is the spectator ion so it is not included in the net ionic equation.
The answer is (2) equal to. In redox reactions, you can't just lose electrons somewhere. If an electrons is lost by one, it must be gained by another. Hence, the importance of balancing redox reactions.
