Same number of valence electrons

Explanation:

Two elements posses similar chemical properties if they have the same number of valence electrons.

Chemical properties of any substance is determined by the number of valence electrons it possesses in its outer most shell.

Elements use their valence electrons to form chemical bonds with one another.

Elements with the same number of valence electrons will chemically combine the same way.

This is why elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same chemical properties.

Given the following chemical reaction: 2 O2 + CH4 CO2 + 2 H2O What mass of oxygen is required to completely react with 20 grams

Jobisdone [24]

The chemical equation is:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First, we calculate the moles of methane present using:
Moles = mass / molecular mass
Moles = 20 / 16
Moles = 1.25

Next, we may observe from the chemical equation that the molar ratio between methane and oxygen is 1 : 2
So the moles of oxygen required are 2 x 1.25
2.5 moles of oxygen required

Mass = moles * molecular mass
Mass = 2.5 * 32
Moles = 80

C. 80 grams O₂
