Answer:
Losing 2 valence electrons
Gaining 2 electrons
For example, the atomic mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 amu; that means the molar mass of an oxygen atom is 16.00 g/mol. Further, if you have 16.00 grams of oxygen atoms, you know from the definition of a mole that your sample contains 6.022 x 10^23 oxygen atoms.
Answer:
0.779 moles.
Explanation:
Mass of chlorine/number of moles = molar mass of chlorine.
Molar mass of chlorine = (35.5*2)
= 71 g/mol.
Mass = 55.3 g of chlorine.
Number of moles = 55.3/71
= 0.779 moles.
