The same or what I don't understand?
Answer:
The ion will repel the substance because it has lost two electrons.
Explanation:
An ion is a charged specie. We can see from the question that the ion has twelve positive and ten negative particles.
If there are more positive particles than negative particles, then the ion is positively charged.
If the ion is positively charged, it will repel another positively charged particle because like charges repel while opposite charges attract.
If element X has 59 protons then element X has 59 electrons.
Side note: as long as an element stays an atom the number of protons and electrons will always have the same value.
The mixture of alcohol and water is a homogeneous mixture where the components are thoroughly mixed and cannot be separated by naked eyes.
The easiest way to separate alcohol from water is by boiling the mixture. The boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water. Therefore, alcohol will turn into steam before water. This steam can easily be condensed into a separate container.
