If an element contains 8 electrons, then there would be 6 electrons that will be placed in the 2nd valence shell. Each shell in an atom can only take up a fixed number of electrons. For the first shell, only two electrons can be found. For the second shell, it can hold up to 8 electrons. However, for this case only six electrons can be found since the others are found in the first shell.
In order to find the mass of tin with the given volume of 5.5 L and density of 7.265, we will use the formula
Density = Mass / Volume
We will just multiply both sides of the equation by the volume and we will get:
Mass = Volume x Density
We can now solve the problem by substituting the given.
Mass = 5.5 L x 7.265 g/L
Mass = 39.96 g
Answer: there are 39.96 grams of tin
