The salt is a solid compound and is considered the "Solute" of the solution.
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.

The law of definite proportions would state that a hydrate always contain exactly the same proportion of salt and water by mass.
strictly speaking, the law of definite proportion states that a compound always
contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.
But the law is often applied to groupings of elements in compound.
Hydrates are salt that have a certain amount of water asa part of their structure.
The water is chemically combined with the compound in a definite ratio.
1 milliliter of water (ml)
Equals : 0.04 ounces of water (oz wt.)
Fraction : 1/25 ounces of water (oz wt.)
