Remark
The short Answer is 6. That's why the ion has a charge of minus 2. Oxygen is doing it's best to have its outer ring have 8 electrons which is the number of outer electrons contained in the outer ring of the Noble Gas Neon.

Answer 6.

Looking at the periodic table, oxygen is in group 6A, meaning it has 6 valence electrons. Another way to determine this is look for the noble gas in the same row as the element whom's valence electrons you wish to find and subtract 1 valence electron from 8 until you reach the desired element. This will be your amount of valence electrons :)

Conservation of mass was discussed in the background. describe how conservation of mass (actual, not theoretical) could be check
rosijanka [135]

Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:

1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.

2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.

3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.

If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step 3.

For the following reaction, calculate how many moles of NO2 forms when 0.356 moles of the reactant completely reacts.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.712 mol of NO₂ are formed .

Explanation:

For the reaction , given in the question ,

2 N₂O₅ ( g )  →  4 NO₂ ( g ) + O₂ ( g )

From the above balanced reaction ,

2 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 mol of NO₂

Applying unitary method ,

1 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 / 2 mol of NO₂

From the question , 0.356 mol of N₂O₅ are reacted ,

<u>now, using the above equation , to calculate the moles of the NO₂ , as follow -</u>

Since ,

1 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 / 2 mol of NO₂

0.356 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 / 2 * 0.356 mol of NO₂

Calculating ,

0.712 mol of NO₂ are formed .
