How do i get the Neutron number :S?

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-12-17] [Hit: ]
I got 2.67x10^-12 ..B). The ion has 8 protons In its nucleus. How many neutrons and how many electrons does it have?......
4.a) calculate the mass of an ion that has a specific charge of 1.20x10^7 C kg^-1 and a negative charge of 3.2x10^-19 C.
I got 2.67x10^-12 .. That was relatively straight forward but

B). The ion has 8 protons In its nucleus. How many neutrons and how many electrons does it have?

How do I get the neutron number ! Am
Really confused .. I know how to get electron but not the neutron number? Can someone go through it step to step with the calculations on how you would get the proton number

Your arithmetic is wrong!

mass = charge/specific charge
= 3.2x10^-19/(1.20x10^7)
= 2.67x10-26kg (not 2.67x10^-12kg)

The mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) is about 1.67x10^-27kg. The mass of any electrons present is negligible.

Number of nucleons = 2.67x10-26 / (1.67x10^-27) = 16 (nearest integer)
Since there are 8 protons, number of neutrons = 16 - 8 = 8

(So the ion s a doubly-ionised O-16 atom.)
