The atom must lose 2 electrons
Explanation:
An atom consists of three types of particles:
- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge
- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge
- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge
As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:
Q = #p - #e
For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.
In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.
In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.

Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Concentration of caffeine = 2.97 mg/oz
Number of oz in a can = 12 oz
Therefore, the concentration of caffeine in one can is calculated as follows.
= mg
= 35.64 mg
=
Since, it is given that lethal dose is 10.0 g. Hence, number of cans are calculated as follows.
No. of cans =
=
= 280.58
= 281 (approx)
Thus, we can conclude that 281 cans of soda would be lethal.
