The number of protons in an atom is the atom's atomic number.
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
There is possibility of losing the electrons, but the number of protons are not loosed, except in nuclear chemistry.
So the number of protons is equal to the atom's atomic number.
Answer:
This solution acts as an efficient buffer
Explanation:
the pH of a buffer solution can be described like this:
[acid]=[acetic acid]=
[base]=[sodium acetate]=
replacing,
If we add an acid, pH will decrease a little bit and if we add a base, pH wil increase a little bit.
lets supose that we change the rate by increasing [base] to 0.1, then
and now lets supose that we increase [acid] to 0.1
Big changes in concentration of base or acid doesn´t produce big changes in pH, in that way the mix of sodium acetate with acetic acid is a good buffer solution.
