Answer:

Unable to fully answer without further knowledge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic mass isn't enough information to determine how many protons it has, or even how many neutrons or electrons either. The number of protons in an atom (or ion) is given by its atomic number. Without the atomic number, we can't precisely identify the element and, therefore, cannot determine the number of protons.
