Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are happy when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.

How many valance electrons does group #11 have?

galina1969 [7]

It would have 11 valance electrons.

Example/Explanation:

Say we are talking about groups 10. Group 10 would have 10 valance electrons because of the atom's electronic arrangement in the periodic table.

Answer: 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.

First, for air pollutants, ppm refers to parts of steam or gas per million parts of contaminated air, which can be expressed as cm³ / m³. Therefore, we must find the volume of CO that represents 35 mg of this gas at a temperature of -30 ° C and a pressure of 0.92 atm.

Note: we consider 35 mg since this is the acceptable hourly average concentration of CO per cubic meter m³ of contaminated air established in the "National Ambient Air Quality Objectives". The volume of these 35 mg of gas will change according to the atmospheric conditions in which they are.

So, according to the law of ideal gases,

PV = nRT

where P, V, n and T are the pressure, volume, moles and temperature of the gas in question while R is the constant gas (0.082057 atm L / mol K)

The moles of CO will be,

n = 35 mg x $\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ x $\frac{1 mol}{28.01 g}$

→ n = 0.00125 mol

We clear V from the equation and substitute P = 0.92 atm and

T = -30 ° C + 273.15 K = 243.15 K

V = $\frac{0.00125 mol x 0.082057 \frac{atm L}{mol K} x 243 K}{0.92 atm}$

→ V = 0.0271 L

As 1000 cm³ = 1 L then,

V = 0.0271 L x $\frac{1000 cm^{3} }{1 L}$ = 27.09 cm³

Then the acceptable concentration c of CO in ppm is,

c = 27 cm³ / m³ = 27 ppm

To express this concentration in percent by volume we must consider that 1 000 000 cm³ = 1 m³ to convert 27.09 cm³ in m³ and multiply the result by 100%:

c = 27.09 $\frac{cm^{3} }{m^{3} }$ x $\frac{1 m^{3} }{1 000 000 cm^{3} }$ x 100%

c = 0.003 %

So, the acceptable concentration of CO if the temperature is -30 °C and pressure is 0.92 atm in ppm and as a percent by volume is 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.
