2 valence electrons
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
The electronic configuration is given below as

Looking at the configuration, you will see that the last energy carries 2 electrons
Hence, the valence electrons are 2
Answer:
The correct statements are:
The rate of disappearance of B is twice the rate of appearance of C.
Explanation:
Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.
3A + 2B → C + 2D
Rate of the reaction:
![R=-\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[B]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=R%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BA%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BB%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)

The rate of disappearance of B is twice the rate of appearance of C.

Answer:
She can add 380 g of salt to 1 L of hot water (75 °C) and stir until all the salt dissolves. Then, she can carefully cool the solution to room temperature.
Explanation:
A supersaturated solution contains more salt than it can normally hold at a given temperature.
A saturated solution at 25 °C contains 360 g of salt per litre, and water at 70 °C can hold more salt.
Yasmin can dissolve 380 g of salt in 1 L of water at 70 °C. Then she can carefully cool the solution to 25 °C, and she will have a supersaturated solution.
B and D are wrong. The most salt that will dissolve at 25 °C is 360 g. She will have a saturated solution.
C is wrong. Only 356 g of salt will dissolve at 5 °C, so that's what Yasmin will have in her solution at 25 °C. She will have a dilute solution.
16 protons
Explanation: S2-: proton number 16; nucleon number 32
There are 16 protons (from the proton number). If it was a neutral atom, there would be 16 electrons.
